replica duomeetre moon phase
A replica Duomètre moon phase brings one of watchmaking's most poetic complications within reach. It pairs the dual-wing movement concept — separate gear trains for timekeeping and for the complications — with an astronomical moon display, so the dial stays clean while the moon drifts across its aperture. Here is what a high-grade 1:1 example should include.
Key Features
- Dual-wing architecture with separate gear trains for time and complications
- Astronomical moon phase aperture with a finely finished moon disc
- Jumping seconds and an independently settable moon display
- Polished and brushed stainless steel case in correct original proportions
- Domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating inside and out
- Applied indices, railway-track minutes and heat-blued or polished hands
- Decorated movement with engraved bridges, blued screws and a signed rotor
- Leather strap with a matching pin or deployant buckle
Materials and Specifications
The case measures around 40 mm across and is finished in alternating polished and brushed 316L stainless steel. Expect a domed sapphire crystal plus a sapphire display back, which shows the decorated movement and its moon disc. Dial details include applied indices and crisp printing, and the strap is usually calf or alligator-grain leather with a matching buckle. Water resistance sits near 30 metres, so treat it as splash-proof rather than swim-proof.
Shipping and Returns
Orders leave the warehouse within a few business days in discreet, unbranded packaging with tracking included. Delivery usually takes one to three weeks depending on your location. Returns are accepted within a set window provided the watch is unworn with its protective film and tags intact, and faulty pieces are repaired or replaced under warranty. Message support before sending anything back so the team can walk you through the process.
What Does the Duomètre Name Mean?
Duomètre refers to a dual-wing movement layout in which one gear train drives the timekeeping and a second, independent train powers the complications. That separation keeps the rate stable even when the moon phase or other functions are engaged.
How Accurate Is the Moon Phase Display?
A properly geared moon phase drifts by about one day every two and a half years, because the display rounds the true 29.53-day lunar cycle. Setting it once after a long period without wear is enough to keep it visually correct.
Can the Moon Phase Be Set Independently?
On a dual-wing layout, yes — the moon can be adjusted without disturbing the running seconds. Use the dedicated corrector or crown position and move it gently, never forcing the mechanism.
