Game: pick one watch that most represents each brand

Helm Vanuatu

Pretty much sums up Helm.

Functional, over engineered, tough, legible, tool, ISO, extremely affordable, also wait-list 😂.

Panerai Luminor

Casio F-91W. It's an icon and the most sold watch in the world at this point. Truly made time keeping accessible to the entire world.

glycine airman

For JLC it must be the Reverso imo.

DOXA - Sub 300T Professional

CW C60 Trident Pro

Yes the Twelve is pretty the Bel Canto is awesome and the Sealander line is very cool but this is Christopher Ward for me.

If some one screams tissot it’s almost impossible not respond PRX at this point. It’s almost like playing a game of Marco Polo at this point. I wonder what watch was it for them before the PRX craze?

Excuse my ignorance - what is ‘fixed lugs’ ?

Totally agree, I have one and it's the only panerai I'll need

Such history with this one

It out turtles the turtle 🐢

Don't even get me started on the PRX 😂😂

No spring bars, it's all part of the case, so no bracelets or 2 piece straps. Only Natos

It's a misnomer for fixed strap bars. The lugs don't have holes for spring bars, rather they're connected by a solid piece of material.

Or you can say, there are no lugs, instead there are slots cut into the case to thread a single-piece strap through them.

Breitling - Navitimer specifically and chronographs generally.

Tudor - Blackbay 58 specifically and Rolex tributes/covers generally.

Omega - cant split it, Speedmaster pro and Seamaster 300m.

Rolex - datejust specifically and that generic oyster perpetual case shape generally

Tag - The Carerra chronograph specifically. 'Racing' inspired generally.

Longines - has two distinct identities - modern and heritage. Record for modern and legend diver for heritage.

Hublot - another with two, classic fusion for haters, sang blu for fans.

AP - Royal Oak.

JLC - Reverso

Patek - any of the complications collection - in fact, that there is a 'complications' collection sums up patek.

Blancpain - 50 Fathoms (is there another Blancpain - joking.....)

Vacheron - doesnt have one, that's their problem.

UN - The Freak.

GP - The Laureato (probably not a great position for them to be in)

IWC - Big Pilot specifically pilot watches generally.

Zenith - El Primero (only as a chrono)

Oris - toughie, Id go diver 65 but not sure

Hamilton - Khaki specifically field watches generally.

weird - the pelagos is the only tudor on my radar because its the least tudory tudor - its an outlier unlike everything else.

I would say that the pelagos represents not what tudor is but what I wish it was.

Not fair! 😜

For Jack Mason, the Stratotimer GMT. Obviously the rare WatchCrunch edition!

Kontiki

Gotta be Hamilton khaki field especially since they are basically unchanged from the military issues of the 60s & 70s. Just the addition of a logo today (and larger diameter)

Grand Seiko SBGM221

Omega: Seamaster Professional 300 (particularly the Bond/Bronson Era)

This is and the Black Bay are what I think of when I think of #tudor

I'm not allowed to tell you that you're correct. You are without a doubt correct, I just can't say that.

Centenaire is also an acceptable answer.

Definitely, those are very tasteful.

Cartier - Tank.

Nah, its the blue Sunray 1545. I only say that however, because its the one I have.

beautiful watch but I must respectfully disagree…😉
