How do you feel about homage watches? Where is the line between honoring history and stealing a design? This is something I struggle with. Pictured is one of my favorite “affordable” watches, the homage TR-660.

Pictured is one of my favorite “affordable” watches, the TR-660. The quality is exceptional, and it is a clear “homage” to the original Tornek-Rayville TR-900, a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms rebranded under an American name so it could be sold to the U.S. Navy in the 1960s.

The name and the insignia on the dial both come from Merrill's Marauders, the WWII unit formed in 1943 to fight in Burma. The unit was a precursor to the modern 75th Ranger Regiment, the culture of which is built on their legacy.

The watch is the Gold Squadron variant, which, in contrast to the commercially available version, has a simpler “two-line” dial with “PELAGOS” executed in gold and “660 ft”. Most visibly, the hook and loop strap has a “gold” center stripe, in contrast to the regular red stripe.
