Louis Vuitton Tambour éVolution GMT Black Dial Mens Replica

Louis Vuitton replica watches embrace black with a new collection of three Louis Vuitton Tambour éVolution timepieces in black – each of them sporting a second time zone in quasi-GMT format. These are pretty interesting models and add an interesting look to the larger Louis Vuitton replica watch collection, which the company has been attempting to bolster as a more serious horological product for the last few years. Part of that has been investing in their own movement manufacture, “Louis Vuitton La Fabrique du Temps,” as well as focusing on some more experiment complications. We see one of those here, in this new version of the Louis Vuitton Tambour éVolution Spin Time GMT Replica.

Louis Vuitton is part of the larger LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy) group which also owns major replica watch makers such as Zenith, Hublot, TAG Heuer, and Bulgari. It isn’t as though LVMH really needs more replica watches, but a brand as powerful as Louis Vuitton doesn’t do too poorly with whatever it decides to offer, and its replica watches are certainly among its more exclusive offerings. So let’s take a look at these new DLC-coated black steel Louis Vuitton Tambour éVolution GMT replica watches for 2015 and who they might be good for.

There is a distinct line in the sand separating people who consider themselves to be serious replica watch lovers. Some replica watch people will wear a timepiece from a “fashion brand” and some simply will not. With the Louis Vuitton name on the dial, there are a lot of people who will simply have no interest in these replica watches – and for them, LVMH has other things to offer. Those that will wear a “fashion brand” replica watch are perhaps more open-minded but demand a lot. There must be a fluid integration behind the design, value, movement quality, and overall presentation.

I’ve long since admired some of the legacy Louis Vuitton Tambour collection replica watches – namely the Tambour Divers. Yes, the replica watches are extremely expensive, but I enjoyed them for their unique design and character. That they had the Louis Vuitton name on them meant absolutely zero to me. So what type of replica watch lover am I? I would say that I am more open minded, but that is only because I am totally brand agnostic. I look at the brand name on a dial long after I’ve inspected many other elements about a replica watch. As long as the brand’s personality doesn’t offend me, I wouldn’t mind wearing a Louis Vuitton or other fashion brand replica watch, assuming it had the right stuff otherwise.

It was back in 2013 that Louis Vuitton initially introduced the Tambour éVolution collection which simply added some styling cues and more intricate details as well as a more traditionally round case to the “dog bowl” case design of the original Tambour. I’ve actually never seen a Tambour case in black, so that was my immediate interest in these new Louis Vuitton Tambour éVolution GMT in Black models. Note that prior to the DLC-coating application, the steel cases were brushed and polished in different areas – which is visible through the coating. With their unique lug structure, the Tambour éVolution replica watches wear distinctively, but also comfortably. You sort of love or hate them.

The first of the new Tambour éVolution timepieces is the Louis Vuitton Tambour éVolution GMT in Black, which is 43mm wide and water resistant to 100 meters (well, they are all water resistant to 100 meters). With the cleanest dial of the bunch, this timepiece contains the automatic caliber LV71 (not in-house made) movement (operating at 4Hz with 42 hours of power reserve) which has two time zones with a day/night indicator for the second time zone and the date. I don’t consider this a true GMT, because it (like the other models here) doesn’t indicate one of the time zones in 24-hour format, but rather uses a second 12-hour hand. This is similar, but just makes for a “two-time-zone replica watch.” Basically, you have two hour hands, with each representing a different time zone. As a basic travel replica watch, the Louis Vuitton Tambour éVolution GMT in Black is modernly cooly with a welcome black with red accent color tone. With this collection, the Tambour éVolution very much feels like Louis Vuitton’s version of the Montblanc Timewalker (which is most certainly less expensive).

Moving up the ladder you also have the 2015 Louis Vuitton Tambour éVolution Chronograph GMT in Black replica watch which is 45mm wide. Containing the non-in-house made caliber LV92 automatic, this is more-or-less the same movement as the Louis Vuitton Tambour éVolution GMT in Black, but with a chronograph module. Thus, you get the same two time zone dial in a slightly bigger case with an added 30 minute chronograph. Between the three models, I have a feeling that this Tambour éVolution Chronograph GMT in Black will be the best selling model.

Louis Vuitton also decided to add a new version of its pretty awesome Tambour Spin Time replica watch (first covered here) to the Tambour éVolution in Black collection. The Louis Vuitton Spin Time was first introduced in 2010, and that first version is still my favorite. The 2015 Louis Vuitton Tambour éVolution Spin Time GMT in Black is different from the original model in some ways, but it does retain the core concept – which is to display the time in a second time zone via small cubes on the dial that turn around when it is that hour. The new Spin Time dial has been highly minimalized, and the in-house made calibre LV111 automatic movement produced by Louis Vuitton is different from that in the original Spin Time. What is different is that now the second time zone cubes are adjusted using the crown, whereas in previous Spin Time models, there were pushers on the left of the case to advance the second time zone forward or backward.

he LVMH group that owns Louis Vuitton mens replica also owns a series of replica watch makers such as TAG Heuer, Bulgari, Zenith, and Hublot. It is arguable that Louis Vuitton as a brand doesn’t need to also make replica watches – but they do, and for the most part, they are very nicely done. Louis Vuitton’s best replica watch craft comes from their in-house La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton facility. The brand today makes a small number of replica watches (comparatively speaking) and they range from everyday models with quartz movements for women to very exotic tourbillon-based timepieces at the uppermost end of the spectrum. Today, we are looking at the new-for-2016 Louis Vuitton Voyager GMT replica watch collection.

The Louis Vuitton Voyager GMT offers a novel case design which is somewhere between round and cushion-shaped. I haven’t worn it myself yet, but I am curious about how it looks on the wrist. Like the famous Tambour case that Louis Vuitton is known for, this new Voyager case design benefits from being both comfortable-looking and distinctive. It is hard to tell from images alone what it will look like on the wrist, but I’m open-minded and optimistic about it.

I just had to re-write the below paragraph because I initially worte it after reading Louis Vuitton’s materials on the replica watch – which didn’t even include the proper name of the replica watch. For that reason you might see this timepiece out there referred to as the “Louis Vuitton GMT” without the Voyager part of the name. What I said is that I almost felt that Louis Vuitton utterly didn’t have replica watch enthusiasts in mind when coming up with this personality-free name for an otherwise interesting collection if the name was just “Louis Vuitton GMT.” As you likely know, “GMT” is the term for a complication, and it also refers to “Greenwich Mean Time.” GMT is the name typically given to any timepiece which offers a second time zone in 24-hour format. If a replica watch offers a second time zone in 12-hour format, it is just a “dual time zone” replica watch, and frankly, brands get this confused a lot.

Yes, it is correct that these replica watches have a GMT function. With that said, is that enough to give this collection any manner of personality? It would be like calling a new truck the “Ford 4×4.” All that does is explain some of the functionality that the product has – which is functionality shared by others. Louis Vuitton is by no means the only company on the market to make GMT replica watches, and this isn’t the only GMT replica watch that Louis Vuitton makes. So knowing that, you can understand why I was irritated to receive documentation that simply called it the GMT. Rather, these replica watches are the Louis Vuitton Voyager GMT.

The Louis Vuitton Voyager GMT case is 41.5mm wide (water resistant to 50 meters) and available at launch in either a steel case or an 18k pink gold case. You also see three different strap options which include a steel bracelet, textured gray “taurillon” calf leather strap for the steel case, or a blue alligator strap for the 18k pink gold model. I am happy that a bracelet exists. Louis Vuitton offers bracelets on a number of their replica watches in addition to straps, which is a good sign. Bracelets are difficult to engineer and often work only with particular cases. That means Louis Vuitton puts the effort into making them in order to have a more complete replica watch design experience – and I approve of that, of course.
