OMEGA PLANET OCEAN INSPIRATION?

[REPLICANT]

No, not really, but look what I found at a yard sale earlier this morning. Is it just me or does it look very similar to the PO (especially the hands, thin bezel and numbers 6, 9 & 12)??? Definitely not Omega quality by any means, but still an interesting find for my collection. From the 60s or 70s I would guess.

I can see somewhat of the resemblance. But by far no where near a PO :mrgreen:

Thanks. It was in a box with some buttons and pens, and I got the whole box for $2.00.
