Neither are the original. They are both deck style or marine style watches. That’s why they look the same

Turn them over and you will see a difference...big difference.

scarlet knight · 4 October 2018, 02:37 AM

I bet you can find this design at $10 to $100K. Just a popular look.

tyler1980 · 4 October 2018, 02:55 AM

hold one and look... nothing like each other

both great watches but the margin separating watches is in the details.

the who did it first for a pretty common style is different than saying Hublot vs Royal Oak because the design itself is unorthodox, those designs are pretty common and you can find many watches at all levels that look similar. Drives me crazy when people say any round, black dial, black bezel diving watch is a copy of a sub. There is only so much you can do to make a black dial, round diving watch different.

So many differences, not even close to the same.

CoveWatch · 5 October 2018, 03:26 AM

Take a look at them in person and compare the movements and you will notice a big difference in finish and quality

capote · 5 October 2018, 04:35 AM

I think the dials are very different

idontlike_bandwagons · 5 October 2018, 05:44 AM

Both art deco design. Dates back to 1920s, neither of them invented the design, it was just a period with this specific design just like integrated lug style and octagonal designs in the 1970s (AP did not invent!)

Justindo · 5 October 2018, 12:52 PM

Lots of watches look the same, whether it be a $50 Timex, a $5,000 Breitling, or a $50,000 Lange. Holding one and looking at them closely reveals all a discerning person needs to know.

vman · 5 October 2018, 01:24 PM

Having handled both watches in person... They are not even close. You want the Lange. Trust me.

MILGAUSS88 · 5 October 2018, 02:45 PM

They do not look the same to me.

The Lange has a double sunk dial, which has been used since the 19th century, I believe originally started on American pocket watches.

What makes you say art deco? I think they are rather austere

Yeah I wouldn't say Art Deco style, unlike say the Reverso which is the epitome of that era.

GoingPlaces · 6 October 2018, 01:46 AM

It's a classic design that is common among dozens of watch companies. As far as the two mentioned, not even close.

Burlington · 6 October 2018, 03:30 AM

A lot of differences in the numerals, one has a date, even markers on the sub seconds.

The main similarities are dial colour and hand placement.

Both good lookers !

History of specific watch models makes me say that. Portuguese is an art deco watch. 1815 follows a similar design language.

@AK797 Reverso is indeed art deco, but art deco has a huge spread design wise.
