Through the late 1960s and early ’70s, there were few more important and iconic drivers in Japanese motorsports than Tetsu Ikuzawa. A sheer force of will, he worked his way up through the ranks as one of the first Japanese drivers to compete in European motor racing, gaining attention first in Formula 3, then Formula 2, and eventually as a factory race driver in the Porsche endurance racing program, driving everywhere from Le Mans to his home circuit of Suzuka. His story is far more than we could fit in a few hundred words, but his legacy remains massive.
Today, with the help of his daughter Mai Ikuzawa’s fashion and design bonafides, Team Ikuzawa lives on. Now they can add a watch to the brand stable, with the new best UK replica TAG Heuer Carrera watches made with Bamford.
The cheap Swiss fake watches is a traditional non-“Glass Box” Carrera chronograph measuring 42mm by 14.3mm thick, powered by the Heuer Calibre 02 Movement. The 1:1 online copy watches has 100m of water resistance and comes on a stainless steel bracelet. It also has an included fabric strap with red marking “Team Ikuzawa” printed and velcro closure. The real star is the red and white dial, playing off the Team Ikuzawa colorway.
More specifically the dial is “white opaline” and features a flange with red 60-second/minute scale for the top replica watches. Then there are the two printed counters. At three o’clock there’s a white “azuré” minute chronograph counter with a white lacquered hand featuring a red tip. At nine o’clock, there’s a contrasting red “azuré” hour chronograph counter with red lacquered hand and white tip. Yes, there’s a date at six o’clock, but your eye is more quickly drawn to the Team Ikuzawa logo.
The Swiss movements fake watches is limited to 100 numbered pieces, available only in Japanese boutiques and on TAG Heuer’s Japanese online store, so if you want one you better book a flight now. The price is $6,200.
What We Think
I’m not usually one for such boldly co-branded luxury super clone watches with big names and logos on the dial, but this one has my attention.
I think part of that is thanks to Mai Ikuzawa, who I’ve followed for a while on Instagram and looks like one of the coolest and most interesting people I could ever hope to be friends with one day. There’s just something about Japanese classic car culture (So Naito being another must-follow). Look, I’ll say it: sometimes I’m subject to being “influenced.” But the mix of historical racing content, familial ties, and modern streetwear hits all the right points of nostalgia for me.
Maybe it’s the font, but when I saw this release, I also immediately felt like this co-branded watch looked like the old double-signed company “gift” replica watches for men – especially those rare ones given out by newspapers or magazines. It’s simple, clean, and built on a classic design. For fans of racing and, even more so, racing culture and streetwear, this seems like a hit. Judging by how popular Mai and her father are in Japan, I’m guessing these will move quickly, so it’s on to my next question: where can I get one of those awesome jackets?
It will come as zero surprise to most that everyone’s favourite Hollywood heartthrob, Ryan Gosling, has blockbuster taste in perfect replica watches – his collection full of simple but iconic pieces. After a summer spent just being Ken (and an ‘I’m Just Ken” hit song to boot), we are already bracing ourselves for the mental countdown that is Gosling’s next big blockbuster in 2024 – The Fall Guy, where he shot that TAG Heuer Carrera campaign film. To pass some time, we sharpened up our watch spotting expertise to do a job on Ryan Gosling’s A-Z of holy grail fake watches wholesale – celebrating the iconic horological collection the Canadian actor has amassed on and off screens over the years.
Rolex
Assuming the life and large ego of Jacob in one of the best rom-coms of all time (agree to disagree), Crazy Stupid Love, his character’s ideation of the American Dream is sauntering his eyes around bars, sipping cocktails, and speaking the language of allure to meet a partner for the evening, ultimately leading to unfulfillment. While he eventually finds that through Emma Stone’s character, we no doubt consider that he also could’ve found it through the two epic Swiss made Rolex replica watches‘ he serves up. A bulky Rolex Submariner 16610 in earlier scenes matches his more ladsy demenour, then a more idiosyncratic vintage model – a gold Rolex Bubbleback 3372 complete with a brown leather strap – proves Gosling not only is proficient in the language of high horology (a masterclass in being “better than the Gap,”) but that there really is a watch for our every feeling.
Embracing the reverence of these 1:1 best copy watches on set, Gosling was famously spotted wearing his own Rolex IRL at the Golden Globes, picking up his award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy in 2017. Slipping into a white dinner jacket, he proved himself his usual paragon in the art of simplicity with this 1950s cheap replica Rolex Air King 5500 watches. Presumably bequeathed to the Mendes-Gosling daughters (we’re not jealous), it’s a sure enough staple to any watch collector’s dream grail.
TAG Heuer
Since joining TAG Heuer as an ambassador in October 2021, Gosling has showcased the power of celebrity-brand pairings in its most superlative degree: from the debut of The Gray Man, where he paid homage to his new Swiss conquest with top UK fake TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 5 watches with a silver dial on a stainless steel bracelet.
And in Barbie, Gosling bought Kenergy to TAG Heuer, revealing not one, not two, but three vintage super clone watches for sale from the TAG Heuer archives in the motion hit. That alone was enough to make Gosling the God of TAG, but adding a roster of Carrera’s to his collection off set, from stainless steel dials to hot pink, we confirm that Gosling’s watch collection is more than Kenough for us.
Today, TAG Heuer is surprising the watch world with the rebirth of one of its most well-known AAA perfect replica watches – the Skipper – in a brand new package. It’s old meets new with 2023 TAG Heuer Skipper, but before we touch on what makes this novelty special, it’s important to take a walk through the past and see how it got here. And then when you’re done reading, come back and watch the video.
If you’re the yachting type, you’re no doubt familiar with the Intrepid – a groundbreaking vessel in its time known for winning the famed America’s Cup race in 1967. That boat, weighing over 6,000 pounds, now rests at the docks of Newport, Rhode Island, and is best known in horological circles for the distinct blue color of its deck. The reason we watch-lovers know about the color on a more-than-half-a-century-old boat is because it inspired one of the most iconic vintage high quality fake watches on the planet: The Heuer Skipper ref. 7754, also known as the “Skipperera.” Literal paint chips were taken off the deck of the Intrepid to ensure the hue matched the subdials of that watch, which went into development in 1967 before entering production in 1968.
The Skipper is something of a singular design, and while there were Skippers made in a variety of Heuer “body styles,” it’s the Carrera Skipper that stands out above all others. Produced for about a decade, the Heuer Skipper is as recognizable as a Paul Newman Daytona and known for several visual hallmarks: Its deep blue sunray dial, and its use of orange, green, and Intrepid blue. It’s racing-chronograph meets the sea – a pseudo yachting watch.
In 2017, Hodinkee founder Ben Clymer turned his love of that vintage reference into a special limited edition in collaboration with TAG Heuer: The TAG Heuer Limited Edition Carrera Skipper For Hodinkee. Utilizing the 39mm vintage-meets-modern case design in TAG’s catalogue at the time, that 1:1 luxury replica watches was a rethinking of the Skipper mold. Where the OG was roughly 36mm in diameter, this one was 3mm larger. Instead of two subdials, ours had one tri-color sub-register and a date window at three o’clock, but maintained the same blue dial color. This watch also featured solo Heuer branding and the Skipper positioned at period-accurate 12 o’clock (more on that later).
That LE is, without question, the watch we get the most requests for – five years after it sold out. It goes without saying that we really love it.
It’s with that love in mind that we were excited to see that TAG Heuer was returning to the Skipper with a brand new 2023 release, but with some truly interesting changes. Those changes are related to another hallmark release from the brand earlier this year at Watches & Wonders: The complete re-design of the Carrera chronograph with the introduction of the new 39mm Glassbox. That Swiss movements copy watches was the talk of the show with its pronounced crystal and sloped dial creating a 39mm watch that wears more like a 37 due to its lug-to-lug measurement.
This new Skipper shares its design with the standard blue glassbox with its date placement at six o’clock. Instead of the internal tachymeter readout on the sloped portion of the dial, this one forgoes the use of numerals, using conventional markers instead – this is a yachting watch after all.
Ahead of today’s launch we had a chance to see the new Skipper in real life, well – more like in make-believe life. That’s because we were able to take the top UK replica watches out for a sail in Newport, Rhode Island – on the Intrepid. I was onboard with those you know: Ben Clymer, James Stacey, and Will Holloway – and some maybe you know less well: video team members Jonathan McWhorter and Joe Wyatt.
Getting the watch back to the place that inspired its very existence was akin to visiting a museum. But this was a live museum, and as I walked on that iconic blue deck, I couldn’t help but take the best fake watches off my wrist and hold it against the blue surface and examine the 1:1 color match. The new Skipper felt very at home here, even if I didn’t (although I did indeed raise the jib, fold the sails, and captain the Intrepid temporarily, I’m by no means a yachtsman).
The feeling of being carried by the wind through the waves on an old old wooden ship just felt right. Aware of the historical connection, we came prepared. Not only did we have the new Skipper on hand, but we also had a ref. 7754 (courtesy of Mr. Clymer), and also our own Skipper LE. The trio really showed the power of this design. Having them lined up also allowed for easy examination of everything new in this latest iteration of the Skipper – so let’s get into it.
The first thing you’ll notice on this new 2023 online replica TAG Heuer Skipper watches is the overall modern appearance. It takes on the look of the new 39mm Glassbox design, as noted earlier. Those modern flourishes are muted, however, by the overall color scheme and use of vintage-inspired typography. One major departure from the Skipper design mold is the decision by TAG to keep the Carrera wordmark at 12 o’clock. Historically, that spot has been reserved for the word Skipper. Instead, we find Skipper in the all-blue subdials at nine o’clock, just beneath the numerals eight and four.
In some ways this Swiss made fake watches is very faithful to the original Skipper because it brings back the subdials at three and nine, the former executed in the recognizable tri-color green, orange and blue. Where the OG didn’t include the date, this one has the date tucked neatly at six o’clock, in line with a very under-the-radar small-seconds display with alternating markers in white and orange.
The dial maintains that deep blue sunray finish with applied markers on the main portion of that dial. There are orange-painted accents above each marker, and then a second set of markings on the sloped edges for use with the chronograph function. Speaking of which, the chronograph hand is done in orange, as are the tips of the hour and minute hand.
The 39 mm case is a fairly slim 13.9mm in thickness with very wearable 46mm lug-to-lug measurements. It is also water resistant to 100m, which reassured us as the waves hit the side of the Intrepid during our sail. Inside the super clone watches for sale, and viewable via an exhibition caseback, is the automatic-winding TAG Heuer caliber TH20-06 with its 80 hours of power reserve.
This will no doubt be a splashy release (pun fully intended), but I also see this as a really interesting shift from the way TAG Heuer used to handle its “revival” offerings. By integrating throwback design cues into a modern body with the new Glassbox, it seems the brand is fully invested in maintaining the TAG branding, even on models that speak to the past. So long Heuer.
It’s with that idea in mind, that certain design departures – like the positioning of the word Skipper – are acceptable here. This is not a re-edition, but rather a re-birth of the Skipper. While the brand isn’t calling this a limited edition, I have to think production of these will be lower than that of the standard models. And this isn’t just wholesale replica watches for yachting. It’s a fully capable, modern chronograph from a brand with serious history in that space with a truly colorful backstory.
