Watch ideas... Chrono

[jonnydm]

Looking for suggestions of chronographs along the lines of:


I do like that one, although I have 1 CW already (just sold another) and am keen to try something else. Price range around £200 or less + not too fussed on the movement. A non 'mainstream' make would be preferable too - although part of me is tempted to 'just' go and get a Seiko Monster instead.

There's the usual Tissot... ie it's mainstream in here.

I wanted one for a while, now decided too mainstream.

A non-mainstream quartz chrono for less than £200 ... Traser? Victorinox?

This is a few quid over budget, but well worth it IMHO - Victorinox Chrono Classic:

The Chrono Classic is available in a variety of colours and is also available on a strap for about £40 less

I got this fairly recently:



Bought for £175 although they used to be a lot cheaper. They come with a S/S bracelet and a leather strap. IMHO a good looking watch.

For reference, this is the one I had in mind:



though there is also this style (which I had) but is not as nice I think:

I have a Seagull 1963. I think I'll be looking at a Strela next, they tend to weigh in at £250 ish.

Everyone should have a manual wind chronograph, maximum complication with minimum outlay if you don't mind a bit of Russian or Chinese gobbledygook on the dial!

Wenger?
