Default Anyone seen a wrist watch that closely resembles the 993 VDO Clock?

Has anyone come across a wrist watch that closely resembles the VDO clock in the 993? It's a sharp, clean design.

Thanks in advance.

these are from a company called Motochron. Very nice swiss made watches. the first one is the clock from a 964 (similar/same as 993). the second one is the speedometer from a 3.2 Carrera (I have this watch). unfortunately, neither is in production any more.

The IWC Mark XV, although lacking the orange hands, does give you that legible aircraft-gauge kind of look. It is now discontinued by you can find them still for sale. The newer Mark XVI is not nearly as clean looking IMHO.

Dont know of any offhand. The closest quality watch that comes to mind is a big Italian. Search the net for Mazzuoli watches.

I personally like the U-boat - http://www.military-watch-shop.com/i...boat-watch.jpg

They have various styles, and a great history.
