At the time, Quartz was seen as a successor to mechanical watches for its obvious advantages in terms of accuracy, cost, and simplicity. Well, most of us know what happened in the late 90’s due to the efforts of a few key luxury brands, and the resurgence of the mechanical watch, buts lets focus on a time before that happened.Now look at this wonderful examples of a Swiss Quartz watch, from what is likely the heyday of the Quartz watch movement. The Universal Geneve Super Diver is a Rolex Submariner homage watch, with it’s own little style twist. Most notable, are the raised gold-plated sections of the bezel that add that ‘golden class’ the 80’s so very much needed! They aren’t very functional, but they look nice.
