Yes, quartz. I am not real knowledgeable on watches. I don’t know what’s good and what’s bad. I like the look of it and it’s really comfy to wear. Keeps decent time. Loses about a second or two every week. That acceptable to me. I just sync it with WWV every week. I like that the band is one piece. It doesn’t attach to the watch like a normal band. It continues along the back of the watch and out the other end. It’s easy to move the watch along that band to find the most comfortable fit however you wear it. I also like that the adjustment stem is offset of the 3 o’clock position, right at the 4 o’clock position. Keeps it from digging into the top of my wrist. I haven’t taken it apart. I wouldn’t know what I was looking at even if I did.
Nato straps, thank you, I will remember that. Yes the hands and hour markers all glow quite well in the dark. Much nicer checking the time with it during the night than hitting the button on my phone and blinding myself.
I could see myself falling down the rabbit hole of watches just like I have lights and knives over the years. I just recently found out about these bolt action pens. There are so many nice ones at reasonable prices. I really need to stay off the internet when I’m bored. I find way too many things to spend money on.
Bertucci are VERY well regarded field watches. They have some with tritium tubes too which are very popular due to being as dependable as Marathon but much cheaper.
That looks fantastic! That bracelet (I think Strapcode calls it the “Hexad” design?) matches the style of the Tuna without being too “busy” like an Engineer bracelet IMO.
Made this one up, 5600 with a camo bezel and bracelet from ali, only a saving of £1250 from casio! Yes their ti square(granted its a 5000 which is a better watch) is £1400….ouch
In today rangeman 9400, love it, 1 press stop watch, mb6, solar and even tells you when the sun rises and sets
I hope you’ll keep us updated. I have a couple of their DX3 field watches. It’s basically your watch but with a resin case. I love the simple, straightforward, and uncomplicated face. The high contrast is easy to read. Mine have held up wonderfully. Of course, I don’t do anything “extreme” while wearing them.
The nylon bands on those watches look sharp but they aren’t very comfortable. I’ve tried a few of their other bands. Bertucci’s canvas band is the most comfortable by a mile.
I ordered my watch as soon as the sale went public on February 17, 2020. All of the 200 watches available were sold out in less than 20 minutes. I suggest you register on Helm’s website to be notified when the next batch will be available.
I am the proud owner of a few specimens of the Vanuatu and Khuraburi as well. I highly recommend Helm as I have had nothing but very positive experiences with their watches as well as their Customer Service …
I am a longtime Seiko and Citizen fan. I have been collecting watches for some 30 years or so. Attached are photos of my stock Citizen Eco Diver, modified Seiko Solar Chrono Diver and Seiko Monster.
I installed a Yobokies sapphire AR-coated crystal and Plonger handset on the Chrono.
Monster has been fitted with Yobokies AR sapphire crystal, dial, handset, and dial relume by Everest.
The Elgin in the photo has been my dress-up watch for the past few years, but the blingy diamond chips were kind of over the top. Lately it has started losing time (currently about 10 minutes per day) and it never did that before, even when the battery was getting weak. So I started looking around and decided to buy a Seiko solar. It arrived today. Its looks are much more versatile; I can dress up or dress down and it’ll still look like it belongs.
