Quadtec Digital Watch
Quadtec Digital Watch
I'm not often a fan of digital watches but the quadtec by berj terzian and ra brodmann is rather fetching. The quadtec shows quarterly time periods which move around the hour centered in the watch face. The watch can show three displays: elapsed forward: minutes displayed in quarters and after half hour minutes are displayed as 'approaching' the next hour; elapsed segmented: quarterly segments of past minutes travelling aroung the current hour or elapsed unified: stationary. The watch comes with three straps stainless steel, black leather, and orange silicone with tools and an instruction manual. It sells for $490 and the case is available in matte or mirror stainless steel.

How low can you go? The Endurance 1000 GMT3 watch is water resistant to 1,000 meters (that's over a half a mile under water) and also tells the time in three different timezones. It uses an automatic ETA caliber 2893-2 movement which beats at 28,800 bph with 21 jewels. The home time zone is read in the usual manner and the other two times are determined on two different scales on the dial and the rotating bezel with the red GMT hand. The GMT3 also has a white 60min scale with luminous marker to help it function as a diver¹s watch. The watch is available with a leather strap with rubber lining, a solid rubber strap, or a stainless steel bracelet and sells for $1,195 to $1,395.
