Chronographs, by price

The chronograph to buy under $200, and the one Edifice here that was in stock on casio.com on the check date. Quartz, 43.5 mm across, 48.6 mm lug-to-lug, 11 mm thick, 128 g on the steel bracelet, 100 m, mineral crystal, a 1-second chronograph and a 24-hour subdial, $120. The EFB-108D above is the Edifice with sapphire at $150, 2.3 mm thinner and without the chronograph; the EFR539D below is the larger chronograph at $155. Casio's US Edifice listing had nothing under $100 on the check date. The trade against the EFB-108D is mineral glass and 2.3 mm; what the $30 saved buys is the stopwatch.

The largest watch on the page by 4.1 mm: 49.5 mm across and 54.1 mm lug-to-lug is a great deal of steel for most wrists. Quartz chronograph to 1/10 second, 11.7 mm thick, 185 g on the bracelet, 100 m, mineral crystal, a blue and grey ion-plated bezel, $155 and in stock on casio.com on the check date. The EFV650D at $120 is the alternative in the family: 6 mm narrower, 5.5 mm shorter across the lugs, 57 g lighter and $35 less, with a 1-second chronograph. The trade is the tenth-second stopwatch; the return for the $35 is a watch that fits under a cuff.

The only chronograph Vaer makes, at $279, on the Seiko VK63 meca-quartz: battery timekeeping, a mechanical chronograph module, so the pushers snap back like a mechanical. 40 mm, 11.8 mm thick, 48 mm lug-to-lug, 100 m, and the only current model with a tachymeter. Assembled in Hong Kong. Against the S5 at $189 the $90 buys the chronograph and 2.4 mm of thickness. Unimatic's U3-AEG runs the sibling VK64 at $840, which puts $279 in proportion; the Vaer's case is the plainer one and the money reflects it.

The chronograph to buy under $300 for a small wrist: 45.9 mm lug-to-lug is short for a 39 mm case. Seiko VK63 meca-quartz (quartz timekeeping, mechanical chronograph module with a snap-back reset), 13.5 mm thick, 50 m, double-domed K1 mineral crystal with anti-reflective coating, $290. Dan Henry's chronographs are all VK63 and the 1962 is the 39 mm one; the 1964 Gran Turismo is 38 mm and $310, over the line. The alternative for the money is the Vaer RS1 at $279, the same movement with 100 m and sapphire, noted below. The Dan Henry's trade is mineral glass and 50 m, and its argument is the case.

The smaller chronograph, and the one for a wrist under 6.75 inches: $310, 38 mm, 44.7 mm lug-to-lug, 12.9 mm thick, Seiko VK63, fixed black tachymeter, 50 m, on a 19 mm lug, also sold in 36 mm. The crystal is sapphire-coated mineral rather than the 1962's K1, and the run is 1,964 pieces per colour. Against the 1962 the $20 buys 1.2 mm off the lug-to-lug, 0.6 mm off the thickness and the coating, and costs a millimetre of dial and the panda options. The 19 mm lug is the awkward figure; straps in that width are scarcer than 20 mm. Brew's Retrograph at $375 is the next meca-quartz up, with sapphire.

The Brew with the full luminous dial, and the cheapest chronograph the brand makes: $375, 38 x 41.5 mm, 10.4 mm thick, 50 m, sapphire, on a meca-quartz chronograph whose calibre the page does not name, with a 22 mm quick-release leather strap. Espresso and Technicolor dials are the same price; the Cobalt was sold out at check. It is the thinnest Brew by 0.35 mm and the widest, 2 mm over the Metric. Dan Henry's 1962 at $290 is the meca-quartz chronograph for $85 less, on a named Seiko VK63 with a K1 mineral crystal and a published 45.9 mm lug-to-lug; the Brew has the sapphire and the lume, and no lug-to-lug at all.

The Metric proper, and the reference for the range: $475, 36 x 41.5 mm, 10.75 mm thick, 50 m, sapphire, Seiko VK68 meca-quartz, 19.85 mm lug, on a steel bracelet with a folding clasp and micro-adjust. Bloom, PVD Black, Teal and Yellow, Star, Gold and Black, Retro and Steel are the same $475. The 19.85 mm lug is the figure to note before buying a strap. Against the Retrograph the $100 buys the VK68 by name, 2 mm less width and the bracelet. Against the Vaer RS1 at $279 the Metric is $196 more for a 36 mm case and the espresso-machine design the brand exists for.

The Metric in its Retro Black dial, reference METRIC-BLK, at the same $475, and the one row where the maker's product feed gives less than the product page: the Shopify listing states a 36 mm size and a price, and nothing else. The movement type in the table rests on the product being a Brew chronograph, not on the fetched text. A buyer should read it as the Chromatik in another dial, 10.75 mm and 50 m on the VK68, and check the product page before relying on that. The Super Metric at $475 is the same money with every figure stated. Same case, same price, different dial, thinner paper trail.

The Metric with the pusher done in anodised aluminium and a quick-release bracelet: $475, 36 x 41.5 mm, 10.75 mm thick, 50 m, sapphire, Seiko VK68, 19.85 mm lug, 316L steel. Royal Blue and Burnt Orange were in stock at check; Lumina Yellow and Electric Blue were sold out. On the sheet it is the Chromatik to the decimal, and the $0 difference is the point: choose between them by dial and by whether the bracelet's quick-release matters more than the Metric's micro-adjust clasp. The Dan Henry 1964 at $310 is the 38 mm meca-quartz alternative, with a mineral crystal and 2.15 mm more thickness.

Sold out at check, listed at $495, and the only Brew whose case is not steel: titanium in a gun-metal tone, which the maker says is 40% lighter than steel, on a titanium bracelet, 36 mm, meca-quartz (VK68 by the Metric line's spec, not stated on this page). Thickness, water resistance and crystal are not in the feed text, and the table does not assume they match the steel Metric. The $20 over the Chromatik buys the material and, for now, a wait. RZE's Valour 38 at $399 is titanium with every figure published, 38 mm by 45 mm and 100 m, if titanium is the reason and a chronograph is not.

Retired, and on the page because it was the entry to the brand: CHF 460 before tax was its list, $570 as the maker's page shows it to US buyers, still marked Retired on the check date. Seiko VK64 meca-quartz, 38 mm, 46 mm lug-to-lug, 11.5 mm thick, 50 m, sapphire with anti-reflective and anti-fingerprint coatings, 20 mm lugs, 316L steel. The Rosso Grigio above is the in-stock equivalent at $725, same case and movement, $155 more. Buy the Rosso Grigio if the case is the reason; hunt the Mr Grey only for the dial. The trade is that the price here is history, not a listing.

The chronograph to buy under $750 for a small wrist: 45 mm lug-to-lug on a 39 mm case, 10.9 mm thick before the crystal, 100 m, and $645 as charlie-paris.com shows it to US buyers (€425 on steel). Seiko VK64 meca-quartz, domed sapphire with anti-reflective coating, Berlaglow lume on hands and indices, 20 mm tool-free straps in steel, nylon or leather. The Furlan Marri Rosso Grigio below is the other VK64 on the page at $725: 38 mm, 46 mm lug-to-lug, 50 m, $80 more. The trade is a quartz heart under mechanical pushers, which is what meca-quartz means; the return over the Furlan Marri is 100 m and $80.

The Furlan Marri to buy at $725 as the maker shows it to US buyers (CHF 585 before tax), and the reason is the case: 38 mm, 46 mm lug-to-lug, 12 mm thick, with round pushers on a 316L case. Seiko VK64 meca-quartz, 50 m, sapphire with anti-reflective and anti-fingerprint coatings, on a burgundy and grey leather strap tapering 20 to 16 mm. The Ardesia Blu, Nero Sabbia and Castagna dials are the same price. The Charlie Paris GR at $645 is the VK64 alternative with 100 m for $80 less; the Furlan Marri's trade is 50 m, and what the $80 buys is the dial and the pushers.

The rose-gold Furlan Marri, same $725, same VK64, and the 4N rose gold PVD case is the whole difference from the Rosso Grigio above. 38 mm, 46 mm lug-to-lug, 12 mm thick with the crystal and 11.5 mm without, 50 m, sapphire with anti-reflective and anti-fingerprint coatings, a decagonal screwed caseback, 20 mm quick-release beige and brown leather tapering to 16 mm. Choose between the two on the case colour; the sheet does not separate them. The Charlie Paris Initial Cœur Ouvert at $695 is the other dress watch here for $30 less, an automatic; the Sabbia Rosa's trade is plating, which wears, and a quartz heart under mechanical pushers.

The mechanical chronograph to buy at $800, the maker's US price, if a Seagull calibre is acceptable where everything else has three hands. 38.5 mm, 44.5 mm lug-to-lug, 12.9 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, a bespoke hand-wound ST-1901B with a 50-hour reserve, 50 m, sapphire, C3 lume, on Epsom leather tapering 20 to 16 mm. Against the Lorier Olympia at the end of this section it is 1.5 mm shorter, 0.9 mm thinner and $199 less, with sapphire where the Lorier has Hesalite. The alternative at $799 is the Hyperion, a true GMT rather than a stopwatch. The Underd0g's trade is the movement's origin and the 50 m.

The chronograph at $840 (€730), an edition of 250, and the longest Unimatic at 51 mm lug-to-lug by 2 mm, which settles it for most wrists under 7 inches before the movement comes into it. 40 mm, 13.7 mm thick, 300 m, Seiko VK64 meca-quartz (battery timekeeping, mechanical chronograph module), 2.5 mm double-domed sapphire, a unidirectional 120-click bezel with a sandblasted aluminium insert, Super-LumiNova C1, brushed 316 steel, olive drab seatbelt NATO with a spare black NATO. Lug width is not stated on the page. Lorier's Gemini at $499 is a hand-wound mechanical chronograph for $341 less; the Unimatic's $840 is the case, the rating and the number on the caseback.

The only quartz watch in this section, and the $895 is a retailer's figure held as list because bulova.com returned a not-found page for every URL on the check date. 43.5 mm, 20 mm lugs, 50 m, sapphire, a fixed bezel, Bulova's NP20 quartz at 262 kHz, a bracelet and a NATO in the box. Neither lug-to-lug nor thickness appears in the listing, two dashes on a 43.5 mm chronograph, where they matter most. The Studio Underd0g at $800 is the mechanical chronograph for $95 less, 5 mm smaller with every figure published; the Bulova's trade is the blank columns and the size.

The mecaquartz chronograph at €790, six dial variants at the same price and marked last items in stock: 44 mm, 316L steel, Seiko VK63 with a day-night indicator, in a pebble case by Emmanuel Gueit. Crystal, thickness and water resistance are not stated. The VK63 is a $279 movement in Vaer's RS1 at 40 mm with 100 m and a $310 one in Dan Henry's 1964 at 38 mm; Furlan Marri's mecaquartz on the sibling VK64 is CHF 585 at 38 mm, 46 mm lug-to-lug and 12 mm with 50 m. €790 is the top of the VK63 market by a distance, and Furlan Marri publishes every figure the Ikepod omits.

A dollar under the line and not in Lorier's catalogue on the check date: both product URLs return a 404, so the $999 and the figures are from a review of September 2025, the week the Series II was released. 39 mm, 46 mm lug-to-lug, 13.8 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, a Seiko NE88 automatic chronograph with a column wheel and vertical clutch, 50 m, a 2.1 mm domed Hesalite crystal and a Hesalite tachymeter insert, on the bracelet. The Studio Underd0g at $800 is hand-wound and sapphire, 0.9 mm thinner. The Olympia's trade is Hesalite at $999, and a page that no longer exists.

The chronograph to wait for at $1,650, and the page said wait: "gone for now, but returning later this year" on the check date. 39 mm, 46.5 mm lug-to-lug, 11.8 mm case, 21 mm lugs, TMI NE86 automatic chronograph, 75 m, a fixed tungsten tachymeter bezel on steel hardened to about 1,200 HV, BGW9 lume, on a bracelet tapering 21 to 16 mm. The automatic chronograph alternative is on the under-$2,500 list: the Tissot PRX at $2,150 is 14.54 mm thick, 2.74 mm more, for $500 more. The Traska's trade-off is the 75 m rating, and that you cannot buy one today.

The only Baltic chronograph since the Bicompax retired, and the most expensive at €1,585 on the flat-link bracelet, with beads-of-rice or leather as options and the non-Classic Scalegraph at €1,635. Sellita SW510-M hand-wound chronograph, 39.5 mm, 47 mm lug to lug, 13.5 mm thick, 50 m, double-domed sapphire, fixed aluminium tachymeter bezel, Super-LumiNova BGW9, on the same footprint as the Aquascaphe MK2. The alternative on the same calibre is Farer's Libre at $2,095 (£1,875), rated to 100 m and limited to 100 units. The trade at Baltic is 50 m: this is a chronograph for the desk, and the Farer's extra rating is part of what the extra money buys.

The hand-wound chronograph at $2,085 on a strap, $2,285 on a bracelet, and low in stock: 38 mm, 14.55 mm thick, 100 m, Landeron 70 with 45 h, and five interchangeable aluminium bezels in the box. The original Panda Manual listing was 13.75 mm at $1,975 to $2,175, the inter-bezel Broad Arrow and Orange Boy sit at the same $1,975 to $2,175, and the 41 mm Chronomasters are $2,295 to $2,495. Farer's Libre is $2,095 on a Sellita SW510 M at 13.4 mm with a stated 44 mm lug-to-lug; Baltic's Scalegraph is €1,585 at 13.5 mm. The Nivada does not publish its lug-to-lug. It does give you five bezels, and nothing else in the data does.

A hand-wound chronograph in 100 units at $2,095, and 1.14 mm thinner than the automatic Tissot PRX below (13.4 mm against 14.54 mm). 38.5 mm, 44 mm lug-to-lug, 20 mm lugs, Sellita SW510M b Elaboré in a Top Grade finish, 100 m, domed sapphire with a seven-layer inner AR, exhibition back, bidirectional 24-click bezel with a burgundy ceramic 12-hour insert, BGW9 Super-LumiNova, on integrated rubber, leather or Milanese (£1,875). The Gara and Volante are the same price. Designed in London, Swiss made per the brand. The Stratton Moonphase at $2,075 (38.5 mm, 43.8 mm lug-to-lug, 11.5 mm, gold PVD, hand-wound SW288-1) was listed as returning late 2026. The Tissot at $2,150 is the one with a bracelet and a rotor; the Farer is the one you wind.

The thickest watch here at 14.54 mm, and a Valjoux chronograph on the integrated bracelet costs $1,300 over the three-hand PRX. 42 mm, A05.H31 automatic chronograph with a 60-hour reserve, 100 m, sapphire with AR on the underside, Super-LumiNova, $2,150. Tissot's page lists a "length" of 41.5 mm and a "lug width" of 13 mm, which are the integrated end-link figures rather than a lug-to-lug or a strap width, so both are left blank in the table. The page carries no assembly statement. The PRX Powermatic 80 three-hander is $850 and 10.93 mm on the under-$1,000 list; the chronograph adds 3.61 mm and $1,300. The Farer Libre at $2,095 is the chronograph alternative, hand-wound and 13.4 mm.

A hand-wound monopusher for $2,200 (£1,750), and the Farer Libre above is the comparison the money forces: both run a Sellita SW510 M in Elaboré grade. 38.5 mm, 44.5 mm lug-to-lug, 13.6 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, 63-hour reserve, cam-operated single pusher, 50 m, double-sandwich sapphire, C3 Super-LumiNova, a three-part 316L case and the brand's ruthenium anthracite bridge with Côtes de Genève, on Epsom leather at 20/16 mm. The Farer at $2,095 is $105 less, 0.2 mm thinner, rated to 100 m, with a rotating bezel. The Studio Underd0g has the single pusher and the salmon dial; the trade-off is half the Farer's rating.

The automatic chronograph at $2,295 on a strap, $2,495 on a bracelet, on pre-order with shipping in early October: ETA Valjoux 7750 with 48 h, 38 mm, 44.3 mm lug-to-lug, 200 m, and 15.2 mm thick, or 12.7 mm if you measure to the case and not the crystal. The mecaquartz Autochron is $530 to $730 in the same case, so $1,565 buys the movement and the 200 m. Traska's Chronograph is $1,650 on a Seiko NE86 at 11.8 mm and 75 m; Bravur's Grand Tour is $2,550 on a Sellita SW511b at 100 m. The Nivada is 3.4 mm thicker than the Traska and the only one rated to 200 m; 44.3 mm lug-to-lug is short for a 7750.

The thickest watch on the page at 15.25 mm, and the only chronograph on it rated to 200 m: CHF 1,985 including Swiss VAT on certina.com, which has no US storefront and no dollar price. 40.5 mm, 48.38 mm lug-to-lug, 20 mm lugs, A05.231 automatic chronograph with a silicon balance spring, sapphire with AR on one side, Super-LumiNova BG W9, 316L. The Tissot PRX Automatic Chronograph on the main list is the automatic chronograph 0.71 mm thinner at 100 m, and it has a US price; the Certina has twice the rating and the silicon spring. The trade-off is a case a good deal taller than most wrists want.

The cycling chronograph at $2,550: 38.2 mm, 46.3 mm lug-to-lug, 18 mm lug, 100 m, Sellita SW511b automatic chronograph with 62 h, matte black PVD over 316L, sapphire front and back, on rubber, leather or an integrated bracelet. The Grand Tour IV and Sprinter are $2,550 to $2,600. Thickness is not published, and on an automatic chronograph it is the figure that matters most. Nivada's Autochron is $2,295 on an ETA Valjoux 7750 at 38 mm, 44.3 mm and a stated 15.2 mm with 200 m; Traska's Chronograph is $1,650 at 11.8 mm and 75 m. The Grand Tour has the longest reserve of the three at 62 h and the only PVD case, and it is the only one built to order.

The cheapest automatic chronograph on the page, $2,645 on the mesh bracelet, and 14.45 mm thick, which only the Rado and the Sinn 903 exceed here. 40 mm, 20 mm lugs, 100 m, H-31 automatic chronograph with 60 hours, sapphire, Super-LumiNova, steel; the strap versions cost less and were not fetched. Hamilton publishes no lug-to-lug. The Massena LAB Uni-Racer above is $850 more, hand-wound and 5.45 mm thinner, under acrylic. The Sinn 903 below is $1,665 more for a column wheel, 200 m and a slide rule, at 14.5 mm. The Intra-Matic buys a Swiss automatic chronograph for the price of a three-hand Longines; the height is the whole cost.

The other Massena LAB chronograph, $3,495 on the Shopify feed on both check dates, sold out as a private release. A reissue of the 1954 Rodania Geometer: 39 mm polished steel case with brushed lugs, three registers, hand-wound per the record, under domed acrylic. The feed gives no movement name, thickness, lug-to-lug, water resistance or lume, so the row is a case and a layout. The Uni-Racer above is the same $3,495 with a named Sellita SW510 M, a stated 9 mm and 50 m, and was in stock. Same maker, same money, same acrylic; the Uni-Racer is the one you can read about and buy.

The reverse-panda Uni-Racer, reference UR-001, at $3,495 and out of stock; the White is the same price and also sold out. The case is the Rally's: 39 mm, 9 mm thick, 50 m, domed acrylic, 316L, hand-wound SW510 M with 58 h. Nothing on the sheet separates the two beyond the dial, so the choice is made by availability, and on the check date that meant the Rally. If a black hand-wound panda at 39 mm is the brief and waiting is not, Baltic's Scalegraph Classic Panda is €1,585 at 39.5 mm, 47 mm lug-to-lug and 13.5 mm on the Sellita SW510-M, with sapphire. It is 4.5 mm thicker, and €1,585 against $3,495.

The acrylic exception, and a hand-wound Sellita chronograph at 9 mm for $3,495. 39 mm, 50 m, SW510 M Élaboré with 23 jewels at 4 Hz and 58 hours, a 4 mm domed anti-scratch acrylic, 316L steel with vintage-style polishing, on brown calfskin. An initial release of 35 numbered pieces was in stock on the check date; the Cruise, Safari, Black and White dials are the same price and sold out. Made in Switzerland per the brand. Lume, lug width and lug-to-lug are not published. The Archetype 1.0 at $4,250 (42 mm, 14 mm, 100 m, double-domed sapphire, 50 pieces, one per household) is the sapphire alternative from the same maker; the Sinn 903 at $4,310 is 5.5 mm thicker on an automatic column-wheel calibre. The acrylic is the trade.

A Sellita SW510 MP hand-wound monopusher, 63 hours, 4 Hz, in a brushed steel case 40 mm across, 48.5 mm lug-to-lug and 14.8 mm thick, 100 m, with the dial numerals moulded from X1 Super-LumiNova. GBP 2,900 excluding VAT (3,480 including) on the maker's site, 2 in stock on the check date. The range floor is the M36 at GBP 1,791.67 ex VAT and the M60 AquaLion is a COSC 600 m diver. Vertex's product pages disagree on origin: the M36 and M100A say manufactured by the brand's atelier in Switzerland, the MP45 and M60 say British made with a Swiss movement. Both are recorded as written. Five-year guarantee. It sits here on movement class alone; no dial or case process is published.

Ranked on the Magraph and represented by the Archetype 1.0, because the Archetype is the top of the own-brand range with a full spec sheet. The Archetype: Sellita SW510 BH M Elaboré hand-wound, 58 hours, 42 mm, 14 mm thick, 100 m, double-domed sapphire, made in Switzerland, $4,250, limited to 50 and sold as a friends-and-family exclusive at one per household. The Magraph: a hand-wound M660 designed by Raúl Pagès for Massena LAB, 4 Hz, 60 hours, $8,675 and sold out, the brand's first proprietary movement. The floor is the $1,595 Dato-Racer on a Sellita SW400-1. Warranty two years. Collaborations with Habring2, Louis Erard and Vianney Halter run to $49,900 and are not counted here.

The column-wheel chronograph under the line, $4,310 on the strap at WatchBuys, Sinn's North American distributor, and $4,730 on the fine-link bracelet. 41 mm, 48.5 mm lug-to-lug, 14.5 mm thick, 22 mm lugs, 200 m, La Joux-Perret L110 automatic column-wheel chronograph, sapphire, a bidirectional slide-rule bezel under the crystal. Lume is not stated. The Hamilton Intra-Matic above is $1,665 less for an H-31 at 100 m with no lug-to-lug; the Massena LAB Uni-Racer is $815 less at 9 mm, hand-wound, under acrylic. The 903 is the one with a rating and a full row of dimensions; the 14.5 mm and the 48.5 mm are what you pay in wrist.

The top of the range at €5,900, marked last items: 44 mm titanium, Swiss made, a Swiss automatic chronograph, ETA 7750 on the day-date variants, on a rubber pin strap, said to wear as 41 mm. The Hemipod Day Date on the 7750 is €5,400 and out of stock. Thickness, crystal and water resistance are not stated. The same ETA Valjoux 7750 is $2,295 in Nivada's Autochron at 38 mm, 44.3 mm lug-to-lug, 15.2 mm and 200 m; MING's 57.04 is CHF 6,250 at 40 mm, 47.8 mm, 11.85 mm and 100 m on a hand-wound Sellita SW562 and publishes all four figures. The difference in price is the metal and the shape.

Fifth because Ming's movements are Sellita calibres modified and marked for the brand, a class below a commission and above a catalogue part. The 57.04 Phoenix runs the SW562.M1 hand-wound chronograph, about 60 hours, in a 40 mm steel case 47.8 mm lug-to-lug and 11.85 mm thick, 100 m, with indices laser-cut into the top sapphire and Super-LumiNova X1 on the hands. CHF 6,250 excluding taxes on the maker's site, sold out with a waitlist offered; the 37.11 Odyssey on bracelet is CHF 5,500. Ming publishes prices only while a run is live, so the range floor cannot be read from its archive pages. Design, engineering and final QC in Kuala Lumpur; production and assembly in Switzerland. No run is repeated. Warranty two years.

The hesalite exception and the one hand-wound Omega here, $7,800 on the US page, and the only chronograph under the line with a stated certificate. 42 mm, 50 m, calibre 3861 manual-winding Co-Axial Master Chronometer (METAS), hesalite crystal, 316L steel, fixed aluminium tachymeter bezel, on the bracelet. The sapphire version of the same watch (310.30.42.50.01.002) is $9,000, and a "NEW" sapphire reference on the same page lists $10,400, over the line. Omega's technical-data tab did not load in text, so thickness and between-lugs are dashes, as for every Omega on the page. The IWC Pilot's Chronograph 41 at $8,800 names no certificate on its page and the Zenith Chronomaster Original is $11,100. Hesalite is the trade; the sapphire version is the same watch for $1,200 more.

$8,800 "VAT excluded" on the IWC US page for the Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 on the bracelet, blue dial, reference IW388102, and the thinnest spec sheet at this price: 41 mm, steel, a fixed bezel, an automatic chronograph from the 69385 family that the fetched text did not name, and no height, water resistance or crystal in the text that loaded. IWC was read through a US reader, as with the Mark XX above. Against the Omega Speedmaster sapphire at $9,000: $200 less, automatic against hand-wound, and Omega the one stating a certificate. Against the hesalite Speedmaster at $7,800: $1,000 more for a page that, as read, states less.

The same watch as the hesalite Speedmaster above for $1,200 more: $9,000 on the US page for reference 310.30.42.50.01.002, 42 mm, 50 m, the hand-wound 3861 Co-Axial Master Chronometer (METAS), sapphire, 316L steel, a fixed aluminium tachymeter bezel, on the bracelet. A NEW reference on the same page, 310.30.42.50.01.004, lists $10,400 and is over the line. No thickness or between-lugs, as with every Omega. The $1,200 buys sapphire and nothing else the sheet records. Against the IWC Pilot's Chronograph 41 below at $8,800: $200 more, hand-wound against automatic, and a certificate stated against none.

Above the ladder at $10,300 on the strap, the Navitimer is here because the site said nothing would be left off, not because a bracket fits it. A 41 mm manufacture chronograph, 13.6 mm thick, 30 m, COSC, on Breitling's own B01 with about 70 hours of reserve; the maker publishes no lug-to-lug. The Speedmaster at $9,000 on sapphire is the comparison the money invites, hand-wound and 50 m, and the difference is a slide rule and an automatic.

The El Primero in its 38 mm case, $11,100 on the bracelet on the US page, with a $10,600 strap version beside it. The 3600 calibre reads to a tenth of a second and Zenith prints no thickness, lug-to-lug or water resistance for it on the page, which is unusual at this price and is stated here as a fact rather than a complaint. Against the Navitimer it is 3 mm smaller across and $800 more on the bracelet; against the Speedmaster it is the automatic with the higher beat.

The chronograph, 99 pieces with a cream dial, sold out, and the page showed no price on 19 September 2026; no archive price was found either, so the row has no figure. Laventure Calibre I is a Chronode and Dubois Depraz modular automatic chronograph at 4 Hz with 60 hours, in a 40.5 mm steel case, 48.8 mm lug-to-lug, 12 mm thick without the Plexiglas superdome, 200 m, on an integrated steel bracelet with a 17 mm clasp. Against the Sous-Marine II on the same case it is 2.1 mm thicker, which is the module. Sinn's 903 St II is $4,310 on a La Joux-Perret L110 at 41 mm and 14.5 mm, and publishes a price.

The reference point above everything else, and a row whose figure needs a caveat: the Series 2 page shows no price, and the CHF 43,500 in the table is the Series 3 figure from a search result, not fetched from the maker. Agenhor's Agengraphe Cal. 6361.M1, a manual-winding chronograph, in a 34-part grade 5 titanium case, 41.5 mm, 14.2 mm thick, 22 mm lug, 50 m, with HyCeram lume filling the dial. Lug-to-lug is not published; the run is sold out and will not be repeated. Formex's Aria is $7,900 on the FX01 manufacture micro-rotor at 40 mm and 6.9 mm; Breitling's Navitimer B01 is $10,300 at 41 mm. Neither is an Agengraphe, and that is the argument.
