Quick answer
A Speedmaster Moonwatch super clone is a replica of the Omega Speedmaster Professional. Sellers use "super clone" as a marketing phrase. No standards body defines the term and no certification exists. The genuine watch is the reference point for every claim. Omega lists the current Moonwatch Professional with a 42 mm case and the caliber 3861 movement.
What the phrase claims
Listings state that a super clone copies case size, dial layout, bezel insert, and movement design. Common claims include a 42 mm case, 20 mm lug width, hesalite or sapphire crystal, and a steel bracelet with the same taper. Claims differ by seller and by batch. Most listings do not state movement origin, steel grade, or timing tolerance. A 2024 batch and a 2022 batch from the same seller can differ in parts.

Legal status in the United States
Counterfeit goods are illegal to import and to sell in the US. 18 U.S.C. Section 2320 makes trafficking in counterfeit goods a federal crime. The Lanham Act gives trademark owners civil remedies. US Customs and Border Protection seizes counterfeit shipments at ports. A buyer can lose the item at customs and has no recourse against an overseas seller. Payment methods used in this trade give weak chargeback rights.
Resale and service
A super clone holds no collector value. Omega service centers do not touch replicas. Independent watchmakers face a parts problem because clone parts vary between batches. Resale channels for replicas are thin and prices drop at resale.
