I love Zenith watches. The Defy watches, the Chronomasters, everything. The Academy watch is Zeniths premier line, and the Academy Zero-G Tourbillion is the lastest addition. Using the Caliber 8801 El Primero Tourbillon movement, this Replica Omega 951472.30 Constellation Watch beats at 36,000vph, and offers a 3-Dimensional Tourbillon cage. Platinum rotor and 160-part gyroscopic carriage are just some of the features. With this model Zenith rotated the movement 45-degrees to to place the Tourbillon Cage at 4:30 and the Time at 10:30. This gives the watch a very nice offset look.
As some of you might have already known, I had purchased a U-Boat Flightdeck CAS 50mm watch, which many on the forum kept saying was Cheaply made and they felt that the metal was cheap and that the crystal was cheap. I had a totally different experience and felt that the case machining was on par with anything in the price range, Replica Omega 3577.50 Speedmaster Special Watch and that the only part that was neglected was the finish of the movement. Ill elaborate a bit more here.There is a general shot of the U-Boat, atop the U-Boat box.
As you can see, the lines on the bezel are crisp and sharp, an indication of high-end finishing techniques, usually executed partially by hand. The strap on the other hand, while made in Italy by hand, is ugly. The preforated inserts on the strap serve to cheapen the overall look of the watch, and I immediately put it on a StrapLuxe grey leather strap Replica Omega 4110.32 De Ville Prestige Watch with white stitching which matches the watch perfect in my opinion.A close up of the dial, and you can see the crisp lines of the bezel in this photo as well. The dial lume is applied meticulously and precisely.
