Suunto Observer TT/TT. It's my only watch. It is my believe that a watch should do more than tell time, and I should only need one watch. So I grabbed this titanium Observer as soon as I could. Altimeter, barometer, temp, compass, chrono...log books etc. I love it. I haven't found one bad thing about it yet, going on my third year with it.

bad lighting in my house, sorry.
 
I really like the bracelet and case on your Sinn. I've got a 356 on strap and love it.

The Omega is a vintage from 1932. I just got one from around 1960. The Oris was my first mechanical watch. The Edox and the Seiko YachtMaster are getting more wrist time lately.

Just picked up a Seiko SKX173 recently. Awesome watch. I plan to replace the rubber strap with a metal band though.

I wear a Timefactors PRS-22 Speedbird III. I used to have the very similar (and much more expensive) IWC Mark XV, but sold it a few years ago. In the end, I might like the Speedbird just a little bit better anyway. It's slightly larger than the IWC (39mm vs. 38mm, if I remember correctly), and the dial is sterile- aside from the Arabic numerals and "SL - GREAT BRITAIN - SL" at the 6 o'clock position, there is no other text. Also, the date window has been moved from the traditional three o'clock position down to six o'clock, and the date wheel is white-on-black as opposed to the reverse- both of which changes I consider to be improvements on the classic Mark XV design.

For its modest price, the Speedbird III is built to surprisingly high specifications, even including the unnecessary anti-magnetic soft iron dial and movement shield long abandoned in many modern watches of this type. The engine is the old workhorse ETA 2824-2, not a luxury movement by any standards but it gets the job done. It's the little things that make this watch: the neatly machined screw-down crown, the precisely applied luminous markers, the superbly executed IWC-style bracelet, the elegant concealed butterfly clasp. Fit and finish are pristine and flawless, though certainly much of that impression is owed to the watch's simple and efficient design. This is a fantastic piece to own and wear, and I think it is the best bargain available in contemporary men's watches.
 
The only watch that I have worn for a year would be the Seiko SKX 007J with the Bond Zulu strap.
 
Only watch I have worn for about a year is my casio pathfinder PAW1500gb-1

i love it compass/barometer/altimeter , moon phase, wave chart, 5 band atomic time keeping, count down timer and more.

plus it my favorite color combo, black and orange ( not for survival reason but simply because i love autumn and halloween )

Plain old Timex, can't seem to break it. Oh, for you next thread, I wear Hanes tighty whities!
 
I'm a one watch guy as well. After I have kids and they get done with school and such, I might treat myself to one of these... I love the Submariner blue.

I loved my Suunto X Lander Military, until it stopped keeping time correctly... I figured it was a battery issue but the thing's still ticking 6 months after it got screwed up. It's been in two oceans, climbed rocks in four different states, hiked in 14 different states... it's got some sentimental value to it. Not a scratch on the crystal even today. I bought a 35 dollar G Shock to replace it.
 
First watch is my daily wear watch Omega Speedmaster Professional, better know as the Moon Watch.
Second watch is a Seiko that I was wear April 5th 2006, when I became the recipient of a hit and run. 10:30 Pm on 75 at Legacy in Plano Texas. I was on my 2003 Heritage softail, 65 mph. Should be dead. The 30 cars behind us, do the most spectacular job of not running us over. Look closely at the first, then the second picture of the Seiko, that's right, it sill works. Is saved my wrist. It at some point, in the rolling bumper ride( I rolled 150 feet) the watch came off. Someone at the scene picked it up and gave it back to me as I was being loaded in the ambulance. The insurance company offered me 100.00 for it. I told them I would rather keep it. I owned the Omega at the time of the wreck, it was at home, because I need a new pin, in the band. tim
