The Quadtec digital LCD watch by Equitime takes a fresh approach to displaying time digitally. The Quadtec watch can be set to show the number of minutes to the full hour and is the first watch to display the minutes at the location of the current quarter. The design is actually that smart to switch the count down of minutes after the first 30 min. The result is that you actually start reading the time on a digital display as you would on an analog one.

Quadtec watches are available in five styles of stainless steel cases, polished, matte, sand-blasted, cobalt blue and jet black, each with matching stainless steel bracelets. The watch can also be fitted with bands of leather in various colors, patterns and stitching, as well as nylon and silicone straps. Diamond-decorated steel cases and bracelets can be made to order.
