How to recognise one

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

  • Date scale round the edge

    The one homage keeps it. A ring of dates 1 to 31 runs round the dial and a thin hand points to the day.

  • Moonphase at 6

    The one homage changes it. A dark blue disc with stars and a silver moon sits at 6.

  • Fluted bezel edge

    The one homage keeps it. A fine fluted edge rings the bezel, below a smooth polished face.

  • White dial with rose-tone batons

    A white dial with slim rose-tone batons at the hours.

  • Dark leather strap

    The one homage keeps it. A dark brown strap with an alligator-style grain.

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