3 suggestions and all for a homage.
But what makes the difference between a homage and a copy???

Yeah, that is a good point. I agree.

Since your company is founded on making rugged, well priced, simple, functional, modern looking divers Here is what I would like to see:

***A simple case design ... something along the lines of the simplistically beautiful Sea Devil but all in Titanium.

***Just do an engraved chapter ring, with filled in markings in Black, much like the Sea Devil as well.

***Make a plain lume dial with NO MARKINGS on it whatsoever with the exception of the Benarus logo above the hands and the depth rating below the hands, both in Black. I am thinking the dial color would be a slate gray ... but I know it could be done in white or even orange if you wanted. Stick with me here :p .

***This is where the color comes in. On the underside of the crystal, backprint some big block-like numerals at 3,6,9, and 12 ... you could do the indices in between too, all so they 'stand off' from the dial. Imagine this being done in orange, bright blue, yellow!

***At that point, you either do black skeleton hands, or color-match the hands to the numeral print color.

***Of course it would need to be an automatic :D . The 21 jewel Miyota is fine with me ... affordable and reliable.

The method to my madness is that you would have a very simle base watch to build with the only specific components being the crystal and maybe the hands.

You could also offer other color combos ... imagine an orange lume dial with black printed numbers and skeleton hand with this design ... yum :) .

Well ... you asked for ideas. There's mine :) .

I think the LM7 came up before Omega's own re edition and the design is not protected, but the Planet Ocean already exists and a similarity with a SM 300 homage cannot be denied

Oh, and since the original Barracuda was sold out by the time I got here, I would like to see a reissue with maybe a different dial and hand color combo ...

... just food for thought.

I'd buy one ;) .

I like this idea...not necessarily the 6105 but how about a cushion case with the benarus carbon blue dial.

As Benarus has been a company that makes their own original dive watches, I would try to stick to that theme and not go down the route of making homages which other small new watch companies are already doing.

Seeing as the Sea devil effectively covers the big diver market. A few ideas for other watches

Maybe make a dive watch which isn't as tall so can be worn with office wear...(12-14mm), obvuiously this would have less depth scale

How about a GMT design?

How about a Chronograph diver?

I think in order to develop the brand you should continue making the watches affordable but give sufficient style and individualism to make them attractive. Avoid replicating other brands, and also avoid replicating within your own brand. Thereby giving a varied range.

What you decide depends very much on your own values and vision for this brand.
