Interesting watches with quartz-based movement. What do you recommend?
It's been a while since I have added a battery/quartz based watch that was really interesting. Last time from a few years ago was this IWC Ingenieur ref. 3805 with the 'mecha-quartz' movement developed in association with JLC. What quartz movement watch is in your collection or what do you recommend?
Best wishes,
Joel

Seiko Astron GPS Solar
Perpetual calendar, perpetual accuracy, perpetual power. What's not to like? I especially like the watch goes into hibernation when not used, and springs back to life when you hit a button or it detects bright light. Blue ...
Commemorative Seiko Astron (non-Solar/Satellite)
Mine is running with no seconds variation since the daylight savings change. The titanium and ceramic (?) case with curved back is very comfortable. Cazalea ...
First one that came to mind...
Girard-Perregaux 35th Anniversary Laureato Quartz. It was a 40 piece LE issued in 2010. GP13500 quartz movement with frequency of 32,768 Hz (as noted on the dial) seemed a wee bit pricey at $12,000, but if they sold all 40 then great. haven't seen it in p...

Grand Voyageur watch, a great and innovative piece made by the AHCI Member Vianney Halter (image taken from the web): The dial of the Grand Voyageur draws influence from signals implemented along the railtrack dial itself is inspired by the 93700 platfor...
Vianney is now making one for me
so it will be a Double Exception, since I only own "purely" mechanical watches. :-) amerix
Seiko calls that a Kinetic...
I was going to say Spring Drive, but after Googling on ETA 205.911 (and checking it in Wikipedia), it's more like a Kinetic. BTW, as far as quartz, I like Seiko and my Solar Chronograph, SSC-001, was inexpensive and keeps very good time. Thanks, HAGWE!
Thank you, Magnus!
It has been on and off my wrist since its arrival about three weeks ago. The color combination is exactly the same as in the picture. Talk about exact! There has been absolutely zero deviation from "atomic" or the radio controlled time from a solar Jungha...
GS quartz and The Citizen for high accuracy. Others might be...
the Devon Tread 1 or 2, HD3 Slyde, Halda watch space module.
My pick goes to the..
Astron too. Not a fan of quartz but this is an exception! cheers fernando ...
That's one of my fav IWC ever.
Always have loved the way it looks, a bit small, but once on the wrist it looks great. The alarm function makes it even more special and appealing to me. I'll buy one, some day, no doubt. Apart from a couple of TAG F1 from the late 80s and early 90s, the ...
Citizen 9000 calibre eco drive
has perpetual calibre with alarm and minute repeater. shuts down and lasts for up to 6 months. get it out of the box and it automatically sets to the correct time date etc. very good value and looks good.i'm even thinking of getting one. i could say the O...
T-Touch...
I am astonished that noone has mentioned that so far. IMHO, the T-Touch (and its derivates) is the most innovative quartz timepiece of the last decade. Following that, the Astron would be my choice #2. MarcusMarcus
I'd go next generation (Solar/Radio-Controlled)
This Casio PRW-5000 is a lot of fun! Cheers, -- Richard. ...
Omega Seamaster Mariner I ?
I've been looking at this for a bit… might be interesting :) Not my watch but fished off the net… (Belongs to 'S.L', Stephan posted inNetwork54; moderators please erase if I'm breaking rules!) I particularly like this when on a mesh bracelet a la Ploprof!...
its a nice watch to...
its a nice watch to wear, typical late 70's, but its quartz which put me off it when i had one. G
