    Looking for particular style HEQ

    I very much like the looks of the Tag Heuer Carrera and the Omega Speedmaster Professional. I've attached borrowed pictures of both. I would like to find a HEQ with a similar style. Any suggestions?

    Maurice LaCroix's COSC quartz chrono looks somewhat similar... it's a three dial chrono too.

    With the same HEQ caliber there is also the Christopher Ward C70 COSC and the Certina DS Master (all 3 models are COSC and LE, and have a diver-style look - except the C70, which is more aviator-style).

    Only the Brroklands version of the Christopher Ward C70 is COSC.

    The Breitling Avenger Seawolf Chrono either in stainless or special edition black are both Super Quartz (HEQ), but don't quite have the look that you are seeking.

    I don't think that anybody makes an HEQ watch quite like the two that you have posted. A pity because I find both are quite attractive, and would consider either or both of them myself if they were HEQ.

    A watch that would provide a similar style, albeit with digital displays instead of the subdials is the Breitling Airwolf Raven.

    Picture courtesy of my wrist back in December.

    One nice feature of the Airwolf over the Seawolf is that it has a perpetual calendar.

    Although it's not as neat as these, you might look at the (deep breath!) Chopard Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Time Attack MF. It's digital/analog if you don't mind that. And there are the Breitlings, too, especially the Aerospace Avantage, also digital/analog and rather clunky by comparison with the two you name..

    As I'm in the same boat as you, I'm curious, did you find anything of your liking?
