Here are two very inexpensive yet satisfying to wear watches.
The Timex Expedition has 50m wr and +/-2 sec/mo quartz accuracy, matte dark gray finish and Indiglo dial for second-to-none nighttime legibility. Purchased used at a thrift store for the price of a cup of coffee. The Red Star Bronze 1963 features an ST190...

Excellent KMII !
