·I dig the Dynamics. I keep telling myself to wait and save up for a high-end birth year watch, like a Speedmaster, but I feel the pull of those 70s futurism-looking wrist-tanks.
Is this the seventies-est watch on the internet?

·Can I win this thread? I think I can.
Here's my contender: a Navy Time, Shock Tested Rubens. Just look at it!
How on earth are you supposed to use the tachymeter(if it is original to the watch to begin with)?
Keep rotating the bezel until whatever you want to time stops?

·I think this one is pretty archetypical of the 1970's:

·I always found it very cool, I remember seeing them a couple years ago when they were much cheaper and quite under the radar- but again why spend 250 GBP/ Euros/ Dollars on something when the sum could go toward something that’s much higher quality?

·I challenge anyone to out-seventies this. (The gauntlet is thrown!) I'm quite seriously considering getting one of these for its sheer mullety gorgeousness.
Here is a nice article regarding this Zeno Tennis Watch:

·Thanks for sharing this!
I think I'd be unable to resist this if it were <$100. It's very cool, but feels like a lot of plastic for $300US and I wonder if it would feel too gimmicky to wear in most settings. But I keep thinking about it.

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerHere is a nice article regarding this Zeno Tennis Watch:
https://www.fratellowatches.com/tbt-zeno-tennis-watch/
Being a tennis player, I would love one of those. I played a guy earlier this year who had a digital watch designed for tennis to keep score and track of the time a game took, etc.
Reading that article, it doesn't seem easy to keep track of deuce games and who has the advantage. Would have definitely been an issue with the guy I played who had the digital watch - one game we played lasted 21 minutes. No idea how many times we were at deuce though, but it was a LOT!
Still, would be a cool watch to play with...when we get back to playing that is. I wear a Watchco SM300 while I play, and never have had an issue with it or any other watch I've worn. That includes a Speedmaster, and even my JLC Master Compressor Memovox (forgot to change watches once, so didn't wear that one intentionally). So as long as the balance has a shock absorber, you are fine.

·I narrowly missed out on picking up this doozie in an auction this week - for the sake of another £50 it could have been mine ;-)
A 1974-78 Spaceman Audacieuse, with AS automatic movement and asymetric bracelet. Freaky man!

·Oh my lord. That was a snorted-coffee-through-my-nose moment. I feel like David Bowie (in the form of Ziggy Stardust, of course) has to reemerge and hand-deliver to whoever bought that watch.

Similar, but not quite the same. I think the watch's font is even more wacky:
And look at the side profile of the thing (stolen from another pic online):
