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-digital watches like the Breitling B-1 that have pushers are much easier to use IMHO. What are your thoughts on it?
Nice bracelet you have by the way, my Aerospace came on the older style bracelet with flimsy rolled metal links.

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...

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 oper...

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

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...
