Another quartz model similiar to Breitling is...
Is the Omega Seamaster quartz. I think Omega integrated the display nicer than Breitling. Here's a pic of the Omega with the LCD functions turned off, it looks like a normal blue dial seamaster:
And here's the second time zone activated.
Single crown operation like the Breitling.
Who likes QUARTZ watches?
This is one of my favourites. Many years back I saw it on screen in the film 'Broken Arrow' and thought it looked cool so I got one. It's been one of my favourites since then. Let's see some of your favourite quartz watches! - SJX This message has been ed...
second the Breitling Aerospace
Aloha from Hawaii SJX! I agree with you the Breitling Aerospace is my current favorite travel watch. I like having the second time zone, chrono and alarm. Here's a pic from Koko Head in Oahu: b And here's a shot from the Delta Airlines business elite sect...
Practicality of the Aerospace
I like the way the Aerospace looks and how slim it is, but I've never been a fan of the crown-operated digital functions. It is cool and fun to play with, but it is very difficult to operate while on the wrist, especially when you're moving around. Analog...

including a 1960 gold Alpha with first production dial, a 1962 spaceview, a 1970's snorkel, an omega F8192hz electroquartz, a couple of F300's out of the 10 or more i had. i love Accutrons, but having so many was ridiculous so i've got a couple that i con...
That is a Funky Watch, Graham
Back to the Seventies, Jimmy Hendrix was on the top , the Stones too, Deep Purple just came back from Budokan, and Cheap Trick was just born... What a time! Best. Nicolas

Nicholas, i saw it on the bay and couldnt help myself :) i've got something very special coming in about a week so watch this space, regards Graham
I like QUARTZ watches - well this one at least.
Hi SJX, Nice thread and some great responses. I think I share with most of us a general aversion to quartz. However every good rule has its exceptions. And we have seen some excellent and very worthy examples of those exceptions among the replies. I would...
