Thanks guys, feeling the love!!! 😁 Wishing you all a prosperous festive watch season, even if it's just admiring what we have already have which is just as awesome! 😎 Hoping for health, ambition and happiness in 2014. But first I will need to nurse this baby.....🍺

Wearing a '58 Air King today (on a different, gray ostrich strap, though)

I found this in some of my dad's things after he passed away. I finally got around to having it serviced and a new band. Not valuable but I like the distressed look.

After the FOIS yesterday this seemed an appropriate choice

Certina also did their version of the Omega Geneve Dynamic. They named it "Revalation".
Actually a very nice watch with in-house automatic caliber 25-651. Original bracelet on this one as well.
Getting wrist time today!

Wow... is it some kind of homage or competing design coming out at the same time?

Homage / copies have existed almost as long as watches have. If some brand made a popular look, another brand knocked it off. We've seen a Tissot copy of the UG Polerouter already. Here's Freddy C's Calatrava imitation:

…. and how about Rodania lifting the design of the Speedmaster in the 60's?:

Did Omega created homage design, too? I know many brands create homage to Rolex Datejust and Submariner since in 60/70's

It is from the same time as the Omega Dynamic. I have seen it in brochures dating back to 1968/69, so Certina was not far behind Omegas 1967 "Dynamic" launch.
