That means a Rolex Explorer from 1953 and an Omega Speedmaster Professional from 1969. And that is exactly what we have found for you today...a double-shot of legendary sport Breitling Replica watches perfection.The Explorer first; just the other day we mentioned four Explorers being sold in today's Antiquorum auction. One of them was from 1957 and we declared it one of the oldest we'd seen in a while, that is no longer true. This 1953 Rolex Explorer is as rare as they come in the world of Sport Rolexes. Come to think of it, we're not sure we've EVER seen an Explorer from 1953. It is very worn, does not feature the mercedes hand that we've come to associate with this watch, and is very, very expensive. All that considered, we would buy this watch in a heartbeat.
With vintage Breitling Replica watches , it is the provenance (or history) of the piece that makes them special. We of course base much of our opinion on looks, but for a watch to reach the status of legend, they have to accomplish something, or at least be on the wrist of someone who has accomplished something.Two of the greatest adventures of the last 100 years were Sir Edmund Hillary's scaling of Mt. Everest in 1953, and of course the Apollo 11 mission to the moon in 1969. As we have mentioned before, the watches that accompanied both of these groups when they ascended to new heights (literally and figuratively) have become two of the most iconic watches in the world. In fact, they are both still made today resembling the original design, and both have countless off-spring.But for a real Breitling Replica watches nut, and maybe even a real history nut, only a version from the year the feat was accomplished will do.
