Very classic! Are they mechanical or quartz?

Agreed!

Timex is quartz. Other two are mechanical.

I typically wear this when I travel and intend to do a lot of hiking and swimming.

Yes, nice one! Would expect this to be waterproof when well maintained, no reason to take it off the wrist no matter what: just not good to leave it lying around on a holiday location....

I used to take my Rolex GMT and my Timex pictured above wherever I went. Many adventures. Sadly the Rolex is too recognizable and too vulnerable now. It stays home. Which pisses me off big time.

Yeah, I’m definitely a one watch guy for vacation or any travel actually. Explorer is very under the radar.

Wear what you like and can afford to lose. Orients, Seikos, Tudors travel well and get noticed but not stolen. Omegas are trending toward the middle of the road similar to a Tudor. Relax, wear and repeat.

Black Bay 54! It feels like you're wearing a vintage Sub, but it's not so valuable/fragile that you can't wear it to the beach

15 years of travel for work- always one watch, on your body that you won’t cry if it get lost/stolen/confiscated. Never anything of value in the hotel. The one watch should work for any occasion you plan to have and it always goes in the manpurse while in line at the airport sceeening, never in the tray. Those of us who traveled for a living knew this 25 years ago. Theft of luxury goods isn’t new, it’s just more organized and publicized.
There have always been and will always be predators on the hunt- you just don’t want to look like prey.

Nice Tudor!

Apart from the holiday/travel intentions, Tudor (as well as Rolex or other contemporary releases of the well known brands) are a species of its kind: they are nowadays interpretation of technique and mechanics of the original vintage releases.The outer look is timeless since it did not change much to an untrained eye since the old days except sometimes the size of the case. The movements probably changed to an extend that there will hardly be parts interchangeable to a vintage one. So they are something in between vintage update and reedition.

Would this account also to the contemporary release of the Speedmaster Prof Moonwatch?

( I know this touches a sacriledge...)

Have you ever had to take a watch off at the airport? I haven’t.

I was traveling heavily for work around 9/11 and the rules changed overnight. They literally made you strip going through security. They may not ask you take a watch off now, but I still do as a matter of course (and put it in my bag) so haven’t challenged it. I’m assuming it may also be airport/country dependent.

Is it wrong to say that sometimes I don't wear a watch and I feel fine
