ES Snow-Sport

This watch is another "tribute" designed watch in my collection.

The watch is called ES Snow-Sport, and has no makers mark at all. The back of the watch states it is "not for sale", so I assume it was issued as a promotional item, or free gift.

The watch design seems to be a tribute to one of the 1481010s I posted previously, and shares a lot of the same features. The shaped design, curved metal strap, and front button are similar. Even the curved dot-matrix display with triangular mode indicators on the bottom are very like the 1481010.
Mode-wise, there are less functions with only time, stopwatch, and alarm.


Similarities between this and the 1481010

Spencer Open Wheel

Today's watch seems to be a tribute in that it shares many design features of another brand.

This watch is the Spencer Open Wheel. It was made in China, and has an LCD display rotated by 45 degrees. The LCD numbers use a more complicated display than the normal 7 segment display, with 21 segments per number. Function-wise, the watch only has dual time and date.

The watch that this shares many features with is the Casio Film Watch FS-00. Both have the same shape display and button layout, but the LCD is different (the Casio is 3 lines and inverse), and this watch is at least double the thickness.
