How to recognise one

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

  • Blue ceramic dive bezel

    A blue bezel with a triangle at 12, a white scale and numerals every ten minutes.

  • Numerals at 12, 9 and 6

    Outlined Arabic numerals mark 12, 9 and 6 on a blue dial.

  • Round hour plots

    Large round lumed plots mark the other hours.

  • Date at 3

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

  • Steel bracelet

    A brushed steel bracelet of broad links with polished edges.

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