Late to this thread but this must be my favourite decade for watches and probably cars. I dug these out for a quick pic.

My two 70s contributions ,one of which gets heaps of abuse from the Mrs and daughter whenever worn… I will let you guess which one :)

Mine , issued in 1970 and seems to have served in both the Army and RAF..
I have this lovely 1979 Grand Quartz, with twin quartz crystals in near perfect condition. It’ runs within 2-3 seconds per month and works so well with a shirt.
Sadly, as I’m out of work I never dress up and rarely have cause to wear it. Also, there is no bracelet adjustment so it’s a fraction tight in hot weather. I’d sell it if I thought someone would pay me enough.
I have a 1977 King Quartz too that I wear far more often as it’s a little less flash and has an adjustable bracelet. Plus a few 70s Seiko automatics.

I mentioned this previously but didn't post on this thread:
a 48mm Twinjet Navitimer! What's not to love?
A classic 70s design cue: cut glass crystals. I used to dislike them, but I've come around and am actually a fan now.
That’s cool, the crystal goes nicely with the dial.
Mine is a bit plainer but still space age and funky - and futuristic quartz as well.
Very nice! The block case certainly adds some 70s cool too.That’s cool, the crystal goes nicely with the dial.

Just happened to be wearing the type II today, so thought I'd show a few of mine also:

Lovely watch and good to see you stopping by. Nice to see a Helvetia too.That’s cool, the crystal goes nicely with the dial.

Cheers Wimm - well, you know me
Just one more as I can see this thread is dying and I’ve posted this watch plenty in the past.
‘Swissonic’ balance wheel electric motor movement, with one transistor.
Always love the wittily-clever little minute-indices on these!

Definitely one of my favourites.

I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
I think Omega had the most fun in the 1970s
