The watch shown is the BR05A-BL-ST/SRB.

How to recognise one

Five marks make the look. The count says whether the one homage keeps each one.

  • Square case with round dial

    A rounded-square steel case holds a round dial.

  • Four bezel screws

    Four round screw heads sit in the corners of the bezel.

  • Numerals at 12, 9 and 6

    Large outlined numerals at 12, 9 and 6, with lumed batons at the other hours.

  • Framed date at 3

    A date window with a rounded white frame sits at 3.

  • Ribbed rubber strap

    The one homage changes it. A black rubber strap with fine ribs runs between wide steel bars at the lugs.

Each close-up covers about 12.5 mm of watch, using the listed case width and estimated photo edges.
