I would love to see this with a real (saphire) crystal. Leather band option too, please.

DerpternlinsonThere's quartzes with sapphire crystals for less. Seiko mostly focuses on Hardlex though. I like the face better than the last.

cmagruderGood luck finding a field style quartz watch for under $100 with sapphire. If you know of one, please link it, as I'm looking for one myself, but settled for a Bulova 96B230 for my new daily beater.

KethIt might not be the brand and look you want but there have been any number of Kickstarter watches that got it there for 99.

Any number of other things on sale. Number of Hamilton and Victorinox quartzes out there at times.
EDIT:
Only just realized you were looking for field style. Tougher but possible still through sales.

cmagruderI like the solar feature of this one, and in general. This clan loves their mechanical movements, but mechanical accuracy on Swiss movements is tragically poor. I think it’s done to overcharge for accurate movements. Ooo I mean calibers. Anyway, my Seiko mechanicals are way more accurate than Swatch cheese.

delnerdoI get where you're coming from entirely. I've found Swiss quartz, like what I linked, often more accurate than the lower end Swiss mechanical stuff.
