Aerospace-ish kinda watch (microbrand?)

[nefelimhg]

Hello everybody,

Discovered this great forum yesterday and with help of you i found my next (a Steinhart GMT-OCEAN 1) watch.
I've got another watch on my list (that will probably stay considering it's price) that you might know an alternative for.
The whole microbrand business is new to me (found out yesterday) so it would be cool if the suggested watch is a microbrand.

I'm looking for an alternative for the Breitling Aerospace (that doesn't break the bank)
So far i know of an SVA version (Chrono Classic XLS MT) and a Tissot Ti PR-50.
Both watches don't do it for me (although the SVA comes close, except for the size and dim LCD).

Preferred features : One button (crown) operation, bright (backlit) LCD, Titanium and water-resistant (swimming not diving).

Any suggestions?
Thank your for reading!

Edit: Found some options on the forum, still looking for the "perfect" one.
Don't like the dial of the Orient it's to busy for my liking, the Casio would be nice without all the "gameboy functions".
And the LCD-displays on the Gervil could blend in a bit more, i think if the white outlines weren't there it would look much better.

Orient CVZ00001B


(Discontinued!) Casio Wave Ceptor (WVA-M240DE-1BVER)


Gervil Ana Space

Found it! The Certina DS Pro, unfortunatlly it's been discontinued
I guess that means that i can start my search for a pre-owned one...
Anybody got one lying around???

There is a Momentum model (Format 4) with that style of dial/displays.

Thanks again zippofan for helping me! That Momentum Format 4 looks good, i'm checking it out now.
Diameter (incl crown) is nearly 47mm, that might just be to big for my 6.5" wrists... :(

I suggest the Junghans Aviator Chronoscope. Image from Junghans.

I have tiny wrists. You'll find the lugs slightly stick out but not too much to make 47 mm intolerable. Its a big watch though.

Yes and then peacemaker885 comes along with 42mm Junghans Aviator (thanks for that! ).
I like both watches so this is going to be a though choice, i do have to say the Junghans would fit my wrist better.
Then again, my hands a quite large for the size wrist i've got so...



Thanks for all the help everybody! I'll post some pictures here, when i made a choice

Hold out for Ocean7"s LM2AD,it should be coming out pretty darn soon,but it will be close to 600US.Good quality with Swiss movement,can't ask for more than that.

Thanks mikeynd! I just saw the CAD drawing of the LM2AD on the forum.
I'm in no rush, so i'll wait until it's launched and decide then. Thanks again!

Have a look at the citizen skyhawk range. They are eco-driven and reliable watches. Wouldn't be harsh on your wallet. I'm more of a seiko guy, but planning to buy one of these cos' theae babies look good.
