New member here. While taking in the view I stumbled upon this quite new Swedish brand. I own a couple of watches and have grown so fond of the sweeping motion of automatics, that quartz movements just won't do the trick (or 'tick', hah..) for me anymore.

Sadly, none of the watches Triwa offers features an automatic movement, yet I absolutely love the look of them. Can anyone point me in the direction of watch brands that have a similar appearance but do feature an automatic movement?

You might get more responses if you gave more criteria, which would narrow the search.

First, what's your price limit?

Secondly, what are the specific things about this design you like?

Third, what sort of features are you looking for, specifically, i.e. the crystal material, water resistance, strap or bracelet, color, Swiss-Made or other point of origin, etc? It would help if you knew the common terms used for some of the design elements (chapter ring, indices, rehaut, guilloche dial, knurled crown, etc).

You may not be aware of this, but if you search for this model on Google Shopping, you may see some of the results offer the option to see visually similar watches, which will frequently show watches from a wide range of prices.

You may want to edit your original post to include more info.

Also, generally speaking, bumping a recommendation thread less than an hour after posting it won't endear you to other forum members, as it seems somewhat impatient/demanding, particularly from someone who just joined and has almost no posts.

From some people's perspective, it's a bit tiresome to see new members show up, and before participating in the forum in any meaningful way, your first post is a "Help me find" thread, with incredibly broad criteria. It's like a complete stranger walking up to a group of people and saying, "Hey, all you watch-geeks, you know more than I do, and I don't feel like spending my time browsing the interwebs, so you do it for me, since your time is worthless..."

People here are generally pretty helpful, more so if you take the time to ask specific questions, provide necessary details, show some understanding that this is a community of enthusiasts who come here to discuss watches, not hang around hoping someone asks us to do their shopping for them.

Anyway, welcome to WUS and F71, aka the affordable sub-forum.
My sincere apologies, I did not mean to sound demanding.

Price limit would be on the lower end, say 600$

The pattern in the centre of the dial (guilloche dial, looking the terms up as I go) looks very attractive and I'm quite the fan of subtle gold accents (like the indices and the knurled crown are, I presume)

Swiss made would be very nice, but I'm afraid that's hard to find considering my criteria and low budget. Sapphire crystal prefered.

Though at first I read some hostility into it, after following your advice and actually doing some research I totally get where you're coming from and appreciate the feedback. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and having the patience to give constructive criticism. I'll take it to heart and post with more care in the future.

Thanks for the helpful responses, guys!

I checked them out and have been eyeing the Tissot Visodate 1957 from their Heritage Collection (white dial). Visually, it's a far cry from the Triwa I was talking about.
But it ticks all the boxes and I've read other threads in which it received a lot of praise and is considered a very good deal.

5 years or so ago Tissot apparently dropped the T0194301603100 model and "updated" it to the T0194301603101. I have read some theories as to why this was done, but Tissot only states they did it to "make it more fluently". Personally, I really prefer the watch case with the "protruding lugs" (correct me if I'm wrong, please) over the straight watch case.

I've found a vendor that claims to be selling a brand new T0194301603100, but just to be sure I sent him an e-mail to double check. The price is a bit higher than the T0194301603101, but I figured this is only logical since that model has been retired.

Thanks for helping me out, I think joining the WUS community has been only the first step to truly appreciating timepieces!
