What piece do you wear for wear and tear?

The one type of watch I've noticed missing in my collection is the durable all condition watch.

The type that you don't mind getting wet, dinged up, or just put in harm's way.

My daytona and IWCs aren't safe queens by any stretch, but I don't go so far as going for runs or doing work around the house with them on.

What suggestions do you guys have?

When I'm overseas I wear a Suunto Vector. My daily watch in the US is my Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean. I have another Seamaster (blue one - pre James Bond) that I wear around the house.

My durable all-condition watch is an IWC Aquatimer. Wear it anytime, in the surf, hiking, shooting, skiing etc. Still looks new

Citizen Nighthawk

I own a few more expensive watches, but there are so many great specs to it. It looks sharp, can take a beating, and is dead reliable.

I have a Citizen Skyhawk. My only beef is the synthetic crystal they use scratches pretty easily, but then again it's a beater.

I wear my Citizen Eco-Drive Chrono every day. It was in great shape til I wore it while working on my car and chipped the crystal.



Looks like I'll be picking up a Lum-Tec or two soon to replace it.
