How to recognise one

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

  • Notched dive bezel

    A black bezel with deep notches around its edge and bold numerals.

  • Arrowhead marker at 12

    A downward-pointing lumed marker with a split centre sits at 12.

  • Lumed bar plots

    Broad lumed bars with a dark outline mark most hours.

  • Day and date at 3

    A window at 3 shows the day and the date.

  • Crown at 4

    The crown sits low, at 4, rather than at 3.

  • Arrowhead hands

    The hour hand ends in a lumed arrowhead.

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