How to recognise one

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

  • Inner compass ring

    The one homage keeps it. A ring under the crystal carries compass points and degrees around the dial.

  • Arabic numerals with triangles

    Bold Arabic numerals mark the even hours, with triangles at the others.

  • Leaf-shaped hour hand

    The hour hand swells into a leaf shape filled with lume.

  • Second crown at 4

    A second crown sits at 4 below the main crown, to turn the compass ring.

  • Date at 3

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

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