Rectangular/square watches

I have been looking around for a pretty cool rectangular or square faced watch. I saw a very nice Mont Blanc but they want about 1700 for a quartz movement watch. You guys have any ideas? I would like to be less than 1000 if possible, so I know that throws out some of the bigger names. Here are an accutron and the mont blanc I was looking at, any other ideas?

thanks

Sam

Hi Sam!

Two watches immediately come to mind (because I have them both).

You can get a Raymond Weil Tango Sport Chrono (quartz) with a black rubber strap for $895. If you decide to go ahead and spend $1700 or more, then I suggest the Baume & Mercier Hampton Classic Square automatic.

Both of those are nice looking watches. Can't help with any watches for under 1K but this is my favorite square watch.
Good luck,
