Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon Luxury Limited Edition Fashion Replica Watches

High quality to limited edition watch

While the demand, or appreciation, for vintage luxury Patek Philippe copy watches of the leading brands seems to be still on the rise, the same can be said of certain watches that are of a far more recent make. Especially limited edition, or limited production, watches can be in high demand, and an excellent example of this is Patek Philippe’s Sky Moon Tourbillon.

What makes the Sky Moon Tourbillon stand out, even among Patek Philippe’s impressive collection, was the fact that at time of release it was not only the most complicated wrist watch of the brand, but also the very first that showed complications of both the front as well as the back of the watch.

The front is your classical perpetual calendar, which shows the date with a retrograde hand. The dial is further adorned with a “Calatrava cross” motive, which Patek Philippe also engraved around the case band of the watch. It gives the watch visually even more of an impact, and that is probably while Patek Philippe has made this now a custom with its ultra high-end pieces.

It is the back of the watch that truly sets it apart. It shows the celestial chart of the northern hemisphere, with an ellipse that frames the visible sky, as well as the motion of the moon as it travels through the heavens, and its current phase. The skeletonized leaf hands show the sidereal time on a 24-hour scale.

With all these visual captivating complications, one would almost forget that there is another complication that tantalizes one of the other senses: your hearing. The Sky Moon Tourbillon is fitted with a cathedral minute repeater, activated by the slide on the left side of the case. Patek Philippe developed a special steel alloy for the gongs in this watch, and made them longer than usual, creating a fuller sound that carried on for an extended period of time.

Due to the two dials, another important element of Patek Philippe replica watches are hidden from sight: the one-minute tourbillon. Patek Philippe went to great extent to make this watch as accurate as possible and adjusted the rate so that it runs with only a very slight variation of -2/+1 seconds a day. An extraordinary accomplishment of any watch, yet especially for one with so many complications, among them a minute repeater.

Sinn EZM 1.1 Mission Timer Limited Edition Rubber Strap Luminous Replica Watches

As someone who has been a fan of Sinn EZM replica watches for a while, it brings me pleasure to say that Sinn has “re-released” the original Sinn EZM 1 with the 2017 Sinn EZM 1.1 Mission Timer Limited Edition watch. The new watch takes the overall look of the original 1997 Sinn EZM 1, but changes a lot of features making for an overall big upgrade in one of the world’s most dedicated tool watches.

Origin of the watch name

“EZM” stands for “einsatzzeitmesser,” (“mission timer” in English). Sinn worked with the then new German customs enforcement unit ZUZ (Zentrale Unterstützungsgruppe Zoll) in 1997 to create the EZM 1. The goal was to make a watch that was extremely durable, easy to read, and of course… designed for a specialized (Spezialuhren!) purpose. This same year in 2017 Sinn has also released the EZM 12. In many ways Sinn EZM timepieces are the ultimate tool watches – extremely well made, designed for real life adventure, technically sophisticated, and just damn cool looking.

Compare with modern watches

The EZM 1.1 is both a response to consumer demand for the EZM 1, as well as celebration of Sinn opening up their brand new headquarters building (still in Frankfurt, Germany). One of the reasons the EZM 1 design was so popular was due to its minimalist take on being a superior tool watch. Sinn attempted to design as much as possible to focus on things like the hands and hour markers. Despite the simple look, the EZM 1 and EZM 1.1 are anything but simple watches. These are some of the first modern central-chronograph watches.

The EZM 1 made use of the now no longer available Lemania 5100 movement. For the EZM 1.1 Sinn fake watches developed a new movement known as the SZ-01. Duplicating the functionality of the original EZM 1, the EZM 1.1’s SZ-10 movement is based on the Swiss ETA Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph, but has been heavily modified. Sinn is no stranger to modifying the 7750, and has a lot of experience doing this. The EZM 10 (reviewed above) demonstrates a totally different take on modifying this popular and durable base movement.

A special second hand

The SZ-01 offers the time with hours and minutes, date window, as well as two chronograph hands. The chronograph uses the main time and has a chronograph seconds and minutes hand. Thus, the EZM 1.1 is a 60 minute chronograph – and it is so appealing to use. Another important feature of the SZ-01’s chronograph mechanism is that the chronograph minute hand precisely jumps to each minute marker. This isn’t per se unique, but it is very useful and important for legibility and utility. More so, the original EZM 1 has a dragging versus jumping chronograph minute hand.

The EZM 1 has a titanium case and the Sinn fake EZM 1.1 will have steel case, Though the EZM 1.1 includes Sinn’s proprietary Tegimented steel – which adds a hardening process that offers a lot of scratch resistance. I’m not entirely sure why Sinn opted for Tegimented steel (that they call German Submarine steel a lot) versus Tegimented titanium – which they also produced. My EZM 10 was the first Tegimented titanium (steel already existed) watch produced by Sinn, and the watch still looks brand new. I highly recommend seeking treated titanium watches for this reason. Tegimented steel is similarly excellent, and I think Sinn opted for steel over titanium for the EZM 1.1 given the particular design of the case angles and edges that might have not worked as well in titanium.
