The Baton hands and indexes are luminous-coated, and the sturdy, self-winding Valjoux movement inside boasts an impressive level of high-horology finishing for a timepiece in this price range as well as an extended, above-average power reserve of 60 hours. In addition to the popular integrated-bracelet design, the PRX Chronograph offers another retro-yet-trendy visual element with its bicolor “panda” or “reverse panda” dial layout, with subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock and a date window at 4:30. The satin-finished steel case has been slightly upsized in diameter, from 40mm to 42mm, but still settles well on most wrists with its relatively modest 14.5mm thickness. The Chronograph version of the Tissot PRX followed up the very successful three-hand models in 2022. Price: $1,950, Case size: 42mm, Thickness: 14.8mm, Lug to Lug: 46.5mm, Crystal: Sapphire, Water Resistance: 100 meters, Movement: Automatic ETA Valjoux 7753 The tachymeter scale is etched into the stationary bezel, and the dial’s intuitive design uses red detailing for the central seconds hand and the elapsed minutes hand on the 6 o’clock subdial at 6 o’clock for easy reading of the chronograph displays. When Seiko revived the Speedtimer, as part of its sport-oriented Prospex collection, it decided to eschew the automatic mechanical movement in favor a new, high-tech, solar-powered one, Caliber V192, which enhances reliability and runs up to six months on a single charge from any light source. The original Seiko Speedtimer, released in 1969, was among the world’s first self-winding chronograph watches, equipped with the legendary Caliber 6139. Price: $675, Case Size: 39mm, Thickness: 13.3mm, Lug-to-Lug: 45.5mm, Lug Width: 20mm, Water Resistance: 100m, Crystal: Sapphire, Movement: Seiko Solar Caliber V192 As we approach the new year, we felt the time was right to spotlight some of the best chronographs that are on the market in 2023. Since then, it has become a complication we have seen from almost every brand out there. While nobody is entirely sure when the first chronograph was conceived, we do often point to Mr Nicolas Rieussec’s creation of 1821, which saw a spot of ink dropped onto a rotating disc of paper and dropped another when the timed event came to an end. The very first was conceived as an aid to astronomical observations over the years, chronographs have proven visually appealing as well as useful in day to day life. Since their invention more than 200 years ago, chronographs have established themselves the most versatile additions to the field of timekeeping.
#MENS CHRONOGRAPH WATCHES UPDATE#
By wearing a timekeeper, not only did you get an instant update on at what point in the day you are in, but dependent on complication, you also had the opportunity to see at what point the moon was at in its cycle, what year you are in and even the opportunity to time various events (the big race or dinner). Watchmaking, at its core, has always been about functionality.
