Luxury timepieces enjoy greater popularity than ever before, resulting in the birth and rebirth of some of the greatest watchmakers in history. But there is a dark side to the horological renaissance: fakes. With modern manufacturing methods it is cheaper and easier than ever to mass-produce cheap replicas, many of which are becoming better and better at avoiding detection. For buyers, this is a big problem - so we are pleased to present a guide to beating the fakes. Today we specifically look at one of the great legends of horology: Omega.
Omega is one of Switzerland's best known brands, with 170 years of history. Its watches are used by everyone from astronauts to James Bond, as they are known for their unrivalled functionality, durability and style. When it comes to how to establish an Omega watch's authenticity, your first port of call should simply be a check for quality: a real Omega will display nothing but the finest craftsmanship.
It's also vital to do your research before you buy. Make sure you know the model you are looking for and have a good idea of how much it should cost. Check that the model you are buying has all of the features it should have, and that they work properly. It should have a unique identifying serial number engraved on the case, which you can check against Omega's records. Fake Omega watches are among the most common kinds of replicas on the market – below, we will examine two of the most popular series.
How to spot a fake Omega Speedmaster
There are many different models of the legendary Omega Speedmaster, the most famous (and commonly faked) is of course the Moonwatch. Check the subdial layout to ensure it perfectly matches the official version, and make sure each subdial is recessed into the dail, not simply painted on. Check the central minutes hand for length – it should reach out all the way to the smaller gradations on the minute track. Fake watches sometimes have shorter hands. Check the lettering and other elements on the dial, which should be flawless. Watches with a hesalite crystal should have a tiny Omega logo engraved in the underside, dead-centre (unless the crystal was replaced by a previous owner). The lume on the indexes and hands should be bright and long-lasting – many fakes have inferior quality lume. The tachymeter on the bezel is another place to check – make sure the positioning of the numbers is exactly in line with an official Speedy.

How to spot a fake Omega Seamaster
Many of the same tips above apply to other Omega watches, including the iconic Seamaster. Like the Speedy, it comes in a wide range of models, so make sure you know what yours should look like. There are several tips for spotting a replica watch that work for most of these models. For example, check the helium escape valve. It should be positioned just above 10 o'clock. Some fakes place it on or just below. Check the luminous dot at 12 o'clock on the bezel – it should be in the centre of the triangle, not off-centre or outside it. Equally, the numerals in the date window should be exactly centred and not too small. This is particularly noticeable in the single digits for some fakes.
