Recommend a good watch

Try the Avier Triton diver, mine keeps within a couple of seconds a day. The luminescence on the dial markers and hands is superluminova, the dial has this nice reflective metal finish. It has a date function, but no chronograph function. Mine takes a lot of abuse, but it uses ETAs 2824 movement which is very solid. Its only rated to 200 meters, but it has a really nice display back. It retails at $695, not a big price when you consider most swiss divers retail over $1000. I also like the screwed links, I didn't have to go to anyone to get it sized, I just used my eyeglass screwdriver.

So, what I am looking for now is a: 1) stainless steel watch 2) luminescent dial and hands 3) with calendar, stopwatch etc 4) very water resistant 5) very abuse resistant (I do a lot of mechanical type works etc) 6) accurate 7) not too expensive. I want functionality and not prestige. Any suggestions? I can go with analog or electronic display, I am not too sure what is my preference. thanks i Nothing wrong with titanium..if you buy a good quality solid titanium block and wrist strap. My wife paid $695.00 CDN for a Victorianox Swiss Army Titanium watch 6 years ago. I used to pit my watch & my arm from alergies (nickelitis?) but since I got this watch...no problem. Supposed to good for 300 feet and has the rotating bezel to keep track of time. |
