    Analogue watch with a digital display from the mid 1970's to mid 80's

    I'm looking for such a "vintage" watch and need a few ideas - so if you have one can you post an image to help me with my search?

    Ventura did an interesting one, and with an actual digital display not just digital style numerals, but that was in the 2000's I think.

    The Heuer (Carrera) "Twin-Time" looks nice

    Edit - added the word Carrera

    Perhaps I've misunderstood - thought you were looking for a mechanical watch with a digital display. Yes, that Heuer is rather cool.

    Zenith Defy - though I believe that the digi bit was seconds or date only.

    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    I'd prefer a quartz watch with a "normal" and a digital display

    Probably a bit later, but the right idea?



    Pulsar NX-14

    Cheap as chips!

    M

    PS There's a nicer 11 too, which has curved digital display similar to the current Omega X33.

    Yep agreed
    However it these are too big Citizen made quite a few ani digi watches in the late 80s


    This is mine, wore it all the way through school - just noticed I caught the digi display changing over, quite cool. It must be due a new battery soon.

    I've got a BNWT Citizen C480-314743 which has a fresh battery fitted if you are looking for something a little more dressy.
    It was given to my by an ex jeweller friend to sell for funds for the GB Junior Dog Agility Team which my niece just qualified for.
