Aspirational Quartz Watches

If you were going to buy a quartz watch today, what would it be? Ones on the top of my list would be the Omega Aqua Terra, Cartier Tank Must Solar Beat, or something from the GS 9F SBGN series.

What about you?

My next one is probably going to be a Cartier Tank or the Grand Seiko Sbga413

If we are talking aspirational, meaning ultimate quartz, for me it would be the current Breitling Emergency with the dual frequency distress beacon.

·

Tbh an oyster quartz would be pretty neat, just to confuse people.

Really tho I do find many spring drive run watches very appealing, or the precionists also.

·

I would love a GS quartz, but alas out of my price range.

Cartier tank solar beat

This is awesome , probably my most worn watch last year.

It's my "dressy G-Shock" , never inappropriate, tough as a drone-tank and handsome too.

Bought it 4 years ago from eBay for £1300 & worth every penny.

Bulova Lunar Pilot is an absolute bargain for what you get, don't let the size put you off!

Great history, great accuracy and precision

This thing is sweet. I have the older black one.

I think they still have Quartz Seamasters right?

If I had the money I'd get a Brosnan Seamaster, but since I don't I'd get whatever Timex caught my eye

·

If it is going to be quartz, I say be digital. Have atomic clock time setting, solar charging, and never require service.

Just got Bulova Lunar Pilot but eventually a GS 9F

·

Grand Seiko does quartz movements like no other.

·

I'm a little in love with this one. You know, I might need to adjust my "if I had one watch"

This is fire

I don’t know why but I’ve fallen for this dive watch from Momentum! Just the whole look and feel the watch gives makes me think it would be such a practical cool watch to own.

Currently at the top of my list are the entry level Grand Seiko quartz models, and the ones from "The Citizen" / Chronomaster JDM line.

GS: SBGX261 / 263 / 061 / 063

Citizen: AQ4030-51A ... (still researching)

I also have a soft spot for the Breitling Aerospace.

How big is your wrist? I like these but worry my wrist is too small at 6.4inches

·

Something not too expensive but good looking, bought myself this cool Breil a few weeks ago, I get more compliments then on my expensive stuff.

I have a small wrist but it wears like a 41 mm I assure you

Already have it but the Raymond Weil Tango Chronograph

I just bought a Rolex quartz, I own a solar quartz, so all I have left to want is spring drive quartz

·

Well, a few months ago it was the red Bulova Jet Star. It's quite attractive and comfortable, and it's got the cool Precisionist movement with the seconds hand that gives a Spring Drive a run for its money. Speaking of Grand Seiko, sooner or later I'll get a Grand Seiko quartz; the right one at the right time hasn't hit me yet. And part of me want another Citizen Chronomaster. I have one, but it's blingy and gold and on a strap, and I wanted one on a bracelet so that it can be the ultimate set it and forget it grab and go GADA beater that it's meant to be. And I'm sort of intrigued by the Citizen Eco-Drive One, kind of an oddball choice, little known in these here parts, "the world's thinnest light powered watch," all of 3mm thick. It's as close as I'll ever come to a Piaget Altiplano (well, I actually tried one on once, too cool for words).
