What watch you're wearing?

[K2-bk-bl-rd]

Basically I'm looking for something that looks a little more "vintage" for my work watch. I use the stop watch all the time on my Gshock, so I'm looking for a durable chronograph watch. It could be quartz, but analog and has to be able to measure 12 hours on the chronograph.

Budget ??

$300 is probably tops.

I sort of like the looks of the SSC669 around that price point.

No multi-hour totalizer, though, I guess ?

I have an "Arnie" reissue, but that's overbudget. I think I have a photo of the latter, and will post it in a moment ....

Have a look at Zeppelin watches. Here are my two Zeppelin chronos. The whole line has that vintage feel. Really nice, well built watches. Many are quartz and some mechanicals. They will fit into your budget. Good value for the money, IMO.

Wow, I just love Seiko watches and that Arnie might be speaking to me! Is the chronograph/stopwatch function the first function with those buttons on the left?

I'm trying to remember (since I don't use a chrono complication all that often) but I think you can set any mode for the "top" (active) display.

For me, I usually leave that set to either 24hr or UTC, instead of the chrono.

It is a nice fun watch, one that I wanted for literally decades, and was ridiculously hard-to-find and pricey until this reissue returned.

Here's another photo, this time with the stock band ....

There are a few different colorways available on this reissue, by the way.

EDIT - Looks like black / khaki / OD / "pepsi" are the currently available variants. I think there was a "gold-accented" limited edition available only through Seiko direct upon launch, but I don't see that one any longer.

Cheers !

Seiko titanium chronograph, SNA139 (not this one). Very utilitarian, and never pampered.
