Show me a BAD ASS....QUARTZ!

All my watches are autos now and wondered if I should have at least ONE quartz...?

Same specs...at least 44mm, on bracelet, 3-hand or GMT...

Show me something REALLY cool!

Alot of quartz with bracelet for your size requirements are chronos...

I can think of the JSAR...



THE SWISS ARMY DIVE MASTER.



Theres this, but Its only 42mm, but I think with the lug width from top to bottom being long, it would probably play bigger....




Theres the Chase durer Strike force. 45mm, plus it has tubes, and it is a GMT,....
Theres a guy selling one on WUS for $300

Thats all I can think of for right now...........

Heres the link to WUS for it........

Doesn't come on a bracelet but 46mm x 13mm Citizen Eco Drive so no batteries to worry about. Only downside is this model has been discontinued so if you like it keep an eye on the sales boards.
Edit: Bluedial.com seems to have them for $177 and they are a Citizen AD.

Some great choices so far...

...thanks fellas!

Sorry I listed the same Dive Master, and Dievas Tattoo Chef and Alan !

45mm case, ceramic bracelet


$178.98

accuracy +-20/year....42mm



Or...if you really want to be different....this G Shock smaller version Frogman at 45mm, full 200m ISO rated...hard to find in the West outside of Japan....

I second the Dievas Oceantimer.
Great fit and finish.










Not made anymore but I think this one could qualify also.

Here is another:

badest around...I like the black one, but the regular finish (like the U1) is awesome too!!

UX S EZM 2B SN-197 [url=https://xtrememeantime.forumotion.com/javascript:openImageViewer('Jura Watches - Image Viewer','http://www.jurawatches.co.uk/images/products/hires/UX-S-EZM-2B-sili.jpg');][/url]

Diver's watch with quartz movement and oil filled case - more details

• Case diameter (mm): 44.0
• Case thickness (mm): 13.5
• Case metal: Black PVD Submarine steel
• Case back: Solid
• Tegimented: Fully
• Winding: Quartz - Hydro oil filled


Fully Tegimented All Black Case

This watch is far more than simply a black version of the standard Sinn UX. When Sinn first introduced the U Diver's Series several years ago, the most requested feature was an all Tegimented watch (the standard U models feature a Tegimented bezel).

The Sinn UX Black is constructed from the same steel that is used on the outer hull of submarines. The steel was procured by Sinn from a steel supplier to Emden GmbH, one of Germany’s North Sea shipbuilding yards who construct submarines from the very same steel. This special steel is also amagnetic which means that is does not have magnetic properties and cannot itself become magnetized. The watch movement itself is protected from magnetic fields up to 4,800 A/m.

Next, the Sinn UX Black features a completely Tegimented case, bezel, crown and case back. Standard steel used by most watch companies has a hardness of between 200 and 240 HV (Hardness Vickers is a common scale used to measure material hardness). The Tegiment layer on this watch in combination with the PVD coating has a hardness in excess of 2,000 Vickers which is more than nine times harder than standard steel.

The Tegiment layer is not a coating consisting of a foreign material, instead the steel itself that has been hardened using a special engineering process that creates a hardened barrier. This process increases the submarine steel's resistance to corrosion, as well as provides extreme protection from scratches and other damage to the case.


Technology

Unlike the Sinn U1 and Sinn U2, the Sinn UX Black features a quartz movement rather than a mechanical movement. This movement is a certified chronometer, and includes a rating certificate.

By using this type of movement, Sinn is able to fill the watch with oil, which has the double affect of greatly enhancing the readability of the dial and time from any angle (including under water), and increasing the water resistance of the watch even at great depths. The special battery used to power the movement has an expected life of seven years before needing to be replaced.

The Sinn UX Black is covered with a thick sapphire crystal for extreme protection. This sapphire crystal features a special anti-reflective coating that is scratch resistant - the coating itself has been hardened to 1,800 HV.

The uni-directional ratchet operated rotating bezel is also milled from this submarine steel. The indices are machined directly into the bezel without the use of bezel inserts, which can corrode or come loose at deep depths. The bezel features Sinn's Tegiment technology.

This watch is designed for operation in extreme temperature variations - it operates in temperatures between -20° Celsius to +60° Celsius. The movement is water resistant to 5,000 meters, and the case is pressure tested to a diving depth of 12,000 meters as certified by Germanischer Lloyd in Hamburg.

Matte black dial with date at 3, Super Luminova on hands and markers, and striking red seconds hand complete the design. Other features include sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. Strap is silicone rubber with double push deployant buckle and fliplock safety clasp.

The only thing with that one is that the bracelet is a little thin. If I were to buy a high end quartz, it would more than likely be the Sinn. That thing makes me drool every time...

good luck in your search JAW...

Just returned from the wilds of Costa Rica, where my quartz SMW Titan exhibited supreme bad ass-ness through a variety of outdoor activities.

Sorry forgot the specs 44 x 15 one of the first Seiko kinetics released some time in the 90s in a shiny mono Titanium case with Gmt function.
Call the stingray due to the case back.
