    Not a bad idea.

    If Omega introduced a 1960s styled heritage collection of 34.5/35mm Seamasters, Genèves and Devilles, just as Longines has done with the Conquest Heritage, I’d be interested.

    I’ve already bought this but

    ..... I’d welcome a chance to get a new re-issue of one of these

    Plenty of "brands" capitalizing on older designs nowadays.
    I'm surprised by the amount of Seiko "homages"...

    The Huawei stamp on a photo is way cheesier. Cringy, in fact.

    The Borealis is actually a great quality watch (I think their 300 is discontinued now as they have moved on) I have a friend who has one and loves it.

    And they don’t pretend to be original. The owner apparently owns an SM300 and used it as a template to make his homage.

    And to further the “homage” scourge, here is my Helson which strikes a similarity to another well known diver.

    Again, their reference is anything but subtle but they are a respected brand making high quality (to a price point) watches
