How about an oversize 46mm Omega Seamaster 300 homage?

Do you mean the new one or a vintage SM?
 46mm is a lot( especially for my small wrist) but if there is interest for that size why not

I would like to see a XL IWC Ocean 2000 homage, with Solar or autoquarz movement and Titan case.
Also a homage to the Seamster 600 would be interesting.

O7 has made a very close homage to the SM600
 
 I know what you mean with the IWC 2000;)

This is a real beauty and 44 is a more comfortable size imo
  I will think about it how to make a homage and not a copy.

Well, IMHO there's no foul in paying "tribute" to a classic design. True IF money was no object I would acquire the original in most cases, but it is and I can't. As we all know and certainly don't mind paying homage to the Submariner, 50 fathoms ect. IMO a copy is a fake with the original makers name on the dial. A homage is a sincere tribute to a classic Grail watch that "average"WIS can wear and enjoy.

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 :) .

 Very well said,  I think if we look at bigger brands which make re editions  from their own watches they most look very similar but always a bit different for example   Heuer Monaco or the coming re edition from the Omega Ploprof ( I mean the one from Omega)
I really like the first re edition from Doxa the 300T, you can see the inspiration from the vintage 300T but it has got something own.
 I see it as a problem that the actual Planet Ocean got its inspiration from the SM 300 ( there is not so much difference imo) and that means a SM300 homage could cause some problems with Omega.
So what is it what you like at this watch or what could be made different and you will still love it?
