How to recognise one

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

  • Tachymeter scale

    A black ring is printed with TACHYMETER and a scale from 60 to 500.

  • Three registers

    Registers at 9, 3 and 6 sit on a dark grey dial.

  • Twin bar at 12

    Two lumed bars sit together at 12, with single batons at most other hours.

  • 262 kHz print

    The dial prints 262 kHz inside the register at 6.

  • Date at 4:30

    A small date window sits between 4 and 5.

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