How to recognise one

Six marks make the look. The count says how many of the 2 homages keep each one.

  • Green-tinted crystal

    2 of 2 keep it. The sapphire crystal has a green tint that shows as a ring at the dial edge.

  • Lightning-bolt seconds hand

    1 of 2 keep it. An orange seconds hand kinks into a zigzag with an arrowhead tip.

  • Orange markers at 3, 6 and 9

    1 of 2 keep it, 1 not compared yet. The bars at 3, 6 and 9 are lumed in a warm orange tone.

  • Orange minute numerals

    Orange numbers every five minutes run round a chapter ring at the dial edge.

  • Smooth domed bezel

    2 of 2 keep it. A plain polished bezel with no scale or flutes, curving over the dial.

  • Three-link Oyster bracelet

    1 of 2 keep it, 1 not compared yet. A steel bracelet with a broad centre link between two outer links.

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