Last week we joined Hublot for a canal cruise in the center of Amsterdam for the launch of a new watch. Officially called ‘Hublot Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph Special Amsterdam Boutique Edition’. We went to the recently opened Hublot Boutique in the P.C. Hooftstraat in Amsterdam, which is named after Pieter Cornelisz Hooft, who was a Dutch historian, poet and playwright and lived from 1581–1647. This street is paradise in Amsterdam for those who are looking for an exclusive shopping destination.
Meeting up in the recently opened Hublot Boutique we are welcomed with champagne and typical Dutch snacks. Cheese cubes and (liver) sausage. Only the little Dutch flags that need to go in there were missing, but I remember how hard it was to buy those replika rolex gmt master ii recently for my daughters birthday. Something that was more common when we were kids but always put a smile on our faces. Well I know it does for at least the Dutch part of our team. So already a great start of the evening.
For me, it was the first time in the Hublot Boutique in Amsterdam and I was surprised by what I saw. Of course, it looks good as you can expect from a watch boutique but the number of watches was quite impressive. And not only common models but anything from entry-level all the way to exclusive pieces like the Hublot MP-05 LAFERRARI APERTA with a list price of 546,000 Euro.
After having a look around at both levels of the boutique and meeting the other guests for the evening we made our way to the next location. Close to the boutique, we go aboard the ‘Soeverein‘ which is a luxurious riverboat that cruises the canals of Amsterdam. Complete with a fake Omega Seamaster 300 Co-Axial Master Chronometer 41mm replica hand-painted ceiling, classic fabrics and chandeliers this boat has a great atmosphere. Surprisingly the first person that introduced himself when getting on board is Dutch singer and songwriter Douwe Bob. Born and raised in Amsterdam he will take care of the musical entertainment at the beginning of the evening.
To cut a long story short we enjoyed a special evening on the canals of Amsterdam. During dinner, Nathalie Rother (PR & Communication Manager Central Europe) held a speech and presented their new Classic Fusion Amsterdam Boutique Edition.
Limited to 20 pieces only and exclusively available through the Hublot Boutique in Amsterdam. The Hublot Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph Special Amsterdam Boutique Edition is made in bronze and dedicated to Amsterdam. It has the typical 3 Saint Andrew’s crosses, which can be found throughout the city, prominently placed at 12 o’clock. These crosses are part of the official coat of arms symbol of the city of Amsterdam and widely used. Another tribute to the city is the map of the canals which shows on the glass case-back of the watch.
Now, while the Hublot piece is an exquisite homage to Amsterdam, it comes with a hefty price tag of 22,800 Euro. This got me thinking about another iconic watch that has a deep connection with the sea and horological heritage: the Omega Seamaster 300 Co-Axial Master Chronometer. The genuine Omega Seamaster 300, especially the 41mm variant with reference O23432412103001, is a masterpiece of diving watch engineering, featuring the Co-Axial escapement, Master Chronometer certification, and balanced aesthetics. But let’s be honest—its retail price is out of reach for many enthusiasts who still crave that unmistakable Seamaster look and feel.
This is where the high-quality replica market steps in. The Fake Omega Seamaster 300 Co-Axial Master Chronometer 41mm Mens Watch O23432412103001 has been crafted with incredible attention to detail. It mirrors every element of the genuine piece: the iconic ceramic bezel with engraved numerals, the wave-pattern dial, the signature helium escape valve, and Replica Omega the comfortable stainless steel bracelet. The movement is a reliable automatic that mimics the functions of the original, including a date display at 3 o’clock and a 300-meter water resistance. For a fraction of the cost—often under 400 euros—you get a watch that looks and feels nearly identical to the 6,000-euro genuine one.
We must point out that while owning a fake watch is not legal or ethical in some contexts, for those who simply love the design but cannot justify the expense, a super clone offers an alternative. In practice, many enthusiasts use these replicas as daily beaters, saving their genuine pieces for special occasions. The Fake Omega Seamaster 300 we examined recently had a perfectly aligned bezel, smooth bezel rotation, and a very authentic crown texture. The sapphire crystal was slightly domed, just like the original, and the lume applied was bright and consistent. Compared to other replicas on the market, this one stands out because it uses a genuine Swiss ETA 2824-2 movement clone, ensuring accuracy and longevity.
Over time, unlike the bronze Hublot that develops patina, the stainless steel case of the Seamaster replica maintains its polished and brushed finish with minimal care. It is a versatile watch that transitions seamlessly from a dive trip to a formal dinner. Many watch fans pulsar montre femme in our community have shared that after getting the Fake Omega Seamaster 300, they sold their less accurate replicas because this one finally hits the mark. The bezel action is crisp, the crown screws down smoothly, and the bracelet feels substantial—not flimsy like lesser copies.
Back to our Amsterdam evening, after the presentation, we enjoyed a performance by Douwe Bob and later received a goody bag with an exclusive Amsterdam soccer jersey. The highlight was the Hublot watch itself, but for those of us who are pragmatic, the evening reminded me high quality Omega Seamaster 300 clone O23432412103001 that not every watch lover needs to spend a fortune to enjoy the aesthetics of a legendary diver. The Fake Omega Seamaster 300 Co-Axial Master Chronometer 41mm is a fantastic alternative that brings the dream of owning an Omega to life without the financial strain.
We are not endorsing counterfeits as a substitute for genuine purchases, but as a matter of fact, the replica industry has evolved to a level where even seasoned collectors can be fooled at first glance. If you decide to go this route, always buy from trusted dealers who source from reputable factories. Our recommendation is to pay attention to the movement, the lume quality, and the bracelet construction—these are the telltale signs of a good fake versus a bad one. In the case of the Fake Omega Seamaster 300 O23432412103001, it ticks all the right boxes.
As with many events we receive a goody bag at the end which usually holds all the press information and often contains a gift. In this case, we received an exclusive Amsterdam soccer jersey (size large) with HUBLOT and (Johan Cruyff’s) number 14 on the back as shown below by singer Douwe Bob. As we are more into watches and know little about soccer this shirt would end up in a drawer and that would be considered a waste by some. Hence we decided to give it away in return for a few little favours.
