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 Now if I just replace those wrong hands with a set of FOIS hands ..............
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!
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.
