What is that one watch(model) that defines a brand

[Wenda]

I think G-Shock... First wristwatch with GPS and camera...

[michelle]

you guy very free hor!

what about seiko5?

[Wenda]

I think the Samurai took precedence... Those Spring Driver or Credor or Premier is not as common and not easily identifiable. Maybe Monster will make it there too.

IMHO some brands could be more strongly associated with distinctive traits rather than watches per se. While it may dilute the topic, I prefer to see it from the perspective of unique value proposition...

For instance, I think the Rolex sub would be its definitive model with timeless design, but for Pams I view the trademark crown guard as the defining characteristic (rather than a specific model). Panerai got so many models, one man's meat is another man's poison... like if I said the Egiziano is definitive, many would agree but many would also object on basis of its unwearibility, no?

[zidaneong]

For me, Rolex- daytona, submariner and Datejust
