Omega Replica CEO Julien Tornare says, "At Omega Replica, we want to be multidimensional." We want some of the most exciting watches, such as the Defy El Primero 21, and we also want watches that pay tribute to our historical icons.

We felt it was the perfect time to bring the A385 back because of the success that the tonneau-shaped case has achieved. It's a new icon for the world of sports chronographs.Rolex Day-Date Replica You can tell, from a distance, that any Omega Replica chronograph is a barrel-shaped watch, because its design is so distinctive, especially when combined our signature ladder band.

Tornare responds to the question of whether the tonneau case was successful from the start: "When we first brought back the tonneau shape, we increased its size to make it look more modern. We quickly realized, however, that the proportions were just right. So we returned to the 37mm case size, which is more comfortable because of its compact lugs. This size is ideal both aesthetically and ergonomically. "A decidedly sporting character, but with just the right amount vintage elegance."
