Hello dear Mike! Nice to have you hosting this weekend and…
… with an interesting Theme which I feel we never explored before.
Though I’m not very fond of digital watches because I usually forget the instructions to set the many features (complications) they usually offer I got two which I love so much.
My Citizen Aqualand I bought brand new more than twenty years ago and I used it for its intended function: Scuba diving.
The Speedmaster X33 is a more recent purchase which I have worn very little but intend to give more wrist time in the near future.
I wish a nice and relaxed weekend dear Mike and to all our friends here.
Cheers! Abel

Gentlemen, press your shutters, July 16-18 WristScan is underway
We are looking for images of a watch where the time is shown using BOTH digital and analog displays, on one or more dials; movements can be mechanical, quartz or a combination. See the preceeding posts here for examples of these analog (hands) and digital...
Didn't want to be the first, but...
Here go a couple of hybrid dive watches, with great stories to tell from a great friend of mine who's both an amazing diver and naturalist. While the watches aren't, the photographs are mine. Hope you'll like them. Really interesting theme, thanks Cazalea...
Yes,
Both are Aqualand models from different ages but the first one is THE Aqualand, a mith!
Cool Citizen diver ! ...
I had one of these years ago. Excellent watch, very reliable.
Always good to see a well used watch 😉👍
Been used as a tool as intended - really adds to the character of a watch. Cheers JML
with all the buzz of billionaires going to space...
I could not miss this opportunity ...
Retro hand mechanisms are fragile too
At least I felt that way on my Gerber watch — I was never quite sure that it would make that return journey.
My contribution, i really like these ana-digi!
Here you go, two very different yet similar watches. Best, E. Ps: thanks a lot to Mike, it is a huge honor to contribute, being a humble member here! ...
Two good choices for the WristScan theme ...
Your Breitling looks good with the black finish.

Diving adventures ...
The Citizen Aqualand takes me back just looking at one. I also had one and it was a superb watch for diving. Many happy memories ! The X-33 Skywalker with its titanium case and bracelet is my favourite “technical” watch. Have a great weekend !
Thank you so much for your comments dear Captain!
I join you in the feelings about the Aqualand. Guess it already is a classic among diving watches. I expect to give much wrist time to my X33 soon! Have a nice weekend too my friend! Thank you for your good wishes! Cheers! Abel
I have a Gerald Genta Gefica Safari too
But mine doesn't qualify 🙁 I always liked yours better but I'm not much for 46 mm ...
Let’s see what the archive offers…
The pre-Apple smart watch… Something purely mechanical… The Oak… In case big dates apply, too… And finally the classic of the genre… ...
Definitely a cool 80’s watch ...
I particularly like the second photo, very interesting. Have a great weekend Hans !
One quartz, one mechanical
The CasiOak has analog hands, and can also be set to display time digitally concurrently, or date. (Modded here to a Rainbow CasiOak!) I'm sure several more Gentas will make their appearance, but this salmon guilloche model remains a firm favourite of min...
Very nice — I’ve always wanted a Genta jump hour
Came close once with this Day/Night But somehow the jumper was pushed aside by other, more urgent, watch “needs”. ...
Analog and digital mix ...
Hi Mike and friends... I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. The X-33 Skywalker maybe from a different time and place to the car in this shot, but it’s excellent when you need to time a car lapping a race circuit. The titanium bracelet is very cool but...
Great choices dear Captain! The Casi Oak is a joyful timepiece. Very practical and food looking. The X-33 you know I love it. Look forward to give it much wrist time soon.
Nice shots you share showing the X-33, specially love the first shot. Keeps me wondering about the car... Have a nice weekend my dear friend. Abel
The Fishbowl
Maybe they didn't like my recent post about the tuna melt sandwich! Breitling Aerospace Cazalea ...
Good shots MJ ! ...
This watch looks great ! Hope you are having an enjoyable weekend.
I think we get the message, loudly and clearly
this great watch has a C8 Corvette horsepower digital display with a go-cart sized analog power reserve and seconds.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ENTRIES AND/OR COMMENTS UPON THEM -- TIME'S UP
This contest is now closed.
Sad to say I've none in my collection that meets this week's theme, but . . .
. . . there is one on my hard drive . . . . . . taken many years ago at an alphabet soup gang g-t-g that I can't explain. I think, but not sure, that the 'fan' over the dial is actually the rotor. So the view of the dial is variable. Does this one count, ...
I thought about that one too, and decided no; it's the (in)famous Sung Kang Limited Edition PuristsPro Perrelet offset dial driver's watch
