What movements are used in replica watches?
There are many types of domestic replica watches with varying quality and prices, and different manufacturers use a wide variety of movements. So what movements are commonly used in replica watches? If you want to know the answer, follow Xiaoya below to find out.
What is a replica watch?
Replica watches, as the name suggests, are imitations of genuine watches, primarily produced by small, independent workshops.
Currently, the highest quality level has reached the point of being able to pass for the genuine article. Since this market is a grey area, it is extremely chaotic and filled with uneven mould-making merchants and distributors, with varying grades of quality. Today, we will classify and explain replica watches based on quality so that you can clearly understand what a replica watch is.
Based on quality, we can generally categorise them into three types.
Category one: Standard replica watches. These are the most basic level of replicas, primarily designed to look similar in appearance. They are essentially produced by small, individual workshops that do not prioritise quality.
Category two: Fine replica watches. These are generally made according to the dimensions of the genuine article, with the appearance made as close to the original as possible. They also use high-quality watchmaking materials, such as 316L stainless steel, and feature Asia-Pacific edition ETA movements, sapphire crystal, and waterproof lubricant, making these watches very durable and attractive.
Category three: Top-tier replica watches. These products are made by purchasing an authentic piece, dismantling all components, and creating blueprints through modelling. These are then sent to Swiss watch contract manufacturers for production. The resulting products are produced without any trademarks or logos, effectively acting as blank components; the manufacturers are unaware these will be used for replica watches. Once the components are produced, the manufacturer engages professional engraving specialists to apply the trademarks. Finally, once all components are complete, the manufacturer employs watchmakers to assemble the finished piece. Furthermore, the movement is replicated to ensure that both its appearance and functionality remain consistent with the original.
Common movement types in replica watches
Well-known manufacturers of ordinary replica watch movements include Beijing Watch Factory, Tianjin Watch Factory, and Guangzhou Watch Factory. The movement made by Guangzhou Watch Factory is called the Pearl movement, and basically, ordinary replica watches are fitted with the Pearl movement.
Movements for replica watches are generally secondary developments based on Seagull movements, Shanghai 7750 movements, high-end Pearl movements, Shanghai genuine tourbillon movements, Japanese movements, and Swiss movements, ensuring both appearance and functions remain consistent with the genuine articles, such as: Omega 8500 movements, Rolex 3135 movements, Panerai P.9001 movements, Audemars Piguet 3120 movements, Patek Philippe 324SC movements, etc. Replica watches have now entered the era of movement replication.
