Watch wise - What’s your daily driver?

What’s your daily watch?

For me it’s my 1973 Citizen chronograph.

28,800 beats per hour, chronograph flyback functionality, column wheel/vertical clutch design, manual wind and quick set dates.

Image

It’s got the specs of a high end Swiss watch but at a substantially lower price.

Very cool, that looks almost like new old stock, where did you find it? I'm wearing my 6139-6002 today

Just getting back to wearing my old and trusty Citizen Solar Tech Titanium. Bought in St John's, Antigua back in the late 90's. Been through a lot and with some beautiful sunshine to wake her up, she keeps on ticking.

Yes, it’s like new!

Got it in Thailand many years ago. Just got it serviced last week and it’s ticking away happily.

I really like the two tone design. Looks very nice!

Very cool.

Mine varies depending on the day.

Image

At the desk I need the thinner strap with small watch.

For anything active or wet or sweaty it's the g shock.

And the Citizen for looks.

That’s a nice trio.

My favourite chronograph is my LeJour Rally Monte-Carlo.

Image

But I change my watch up everyday and today I’m wearing my newest watch

Image

My most worn watch is probably my Clemence Photic Diver

Very nice blue dials! The Lejour is super cool.

Bausele MILSPEC Diver has been getting a ton of wrist time in 2023

I like the dial design.

·

I change watches pretty much every day.

·

My rotation is so heavy that I don't really have a daily driver, but if I had to choose, it'd be this one, my Invicta Pro Diver in white:

It´s a beast of a watch!

Daily driver for the summer. Mido Ocean Star GMT.

Thanks! It's deceptive though. Here's the lume on that watch:

That’s even better!

Thanks yeah I seem to have a thing for blue dials. The LeJour’s great would definitely recommend it.

I usually come back to this since the start of the year:

Image

Prior to that it was this for most of last year:

Image
Image

And before that, this:

Image

And before that, every watch in my collection (which is in my profile somewhere) was a daily, sometimes for many many years, with the obvious exception of any other watches I acquired since starting on WatchCrunch (I.e roughly the same time I have considered myself a collector) with things like the CMD40 and my EcoDrive showing the scars in places to prove it. I would switch to my nice new watch as a daily — and arguably it has been since Father’s Day — but I need to change into something else in the evening, when the light may not always be on the side of seeing the time.

But these three, I recommend for various reasons lol.

The orient is really a nice piece

I didn’t even like numbers on a dial until I was given it by my wife, now it’s a favourite 😆 (which in turn made me reconsider things like the Planet Ocean and Ranger.)

·

It has lately been between the square field watch

Image

(I think I want to replace the bezel)

And, the Seikostein.

Image

I love big, chunky watches.

But, there are others that get wrist time.

It's hard. I switch them up to justify my watch box's existence. If I had to pick, it would be this.

Same here, except my Grand Diver:

For 2 years it was Alpinist. Now falling out of love and Longines Hydroconquest replaced it.

·

I rotate almost daily through my small (7) collection but since I got my Citizen eco-drive last month, I am reaching for it as my grab-and-go watch and even switching to it some evenings.

In this regard, it is fulfilling its purpose as a simple-looking, light (titanium), and durable watch which is always ready for anything.

I don't have a daily, but I'd be happy enough with that Citizen.👍

·

That's a great Citizen. Love the colors, the overall design, and the quality is totally there.

Not much reason to look elsewhere.
