I would argue that the Omega Speedmaster is a bit more recognizable than the Rolex Daytona, but that's just me. But for once, I agree with you. These really are bargains. Well, most of them are. The problem is that when you're getting near the £3k range, you're crossing into Speedmaster territory. And let's be honest: when it comes to chronographs, there aren't many that beat the Speedmaster.
The Speedmaster Pro is definitely THE chronograph, but you can get 3 other chronographs with space heritage for under 500$: Poljot P3133 Sturmanskie P31659 Casio G Shock 5600
-Seiko Speedtimer solar chronogrpahs, best affordable panda dial (SSC813 and SSC911) -Bulova Lunar Pilot, best alternative to the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch, "the other moonwatch" with rich history, also just released 43.5mm dial, should satisfy more wrist sizes than the previous 45-46mm dial -Timex Waterbury Chronograph and Q Chronograph, overall probably the best affordable chronographs on the market, great introductions to the style and functions of chronograph watches.
@@manuvns Who cares? Zhicao gave examples of very good watches. The automatic vs. quartz is like comparing diesel and petrol engines in cars. Everyone has different needs, so quartz watches are fine for me.
@@gunstering chrono24 has original Sea-Gulls with display backs. You need to make sure that the brand is Sea-Gull, and it is not just in the name of the product (those are the copies, not bootlegs because they are legal too).
I suggest the Sugess Chrono Heritage SU1963BN. Offers the Seagull ST1901 Column Wheel Chronograph, Sapphire Crystal, 316L Stainless Steel, Blue steel screws and Exhibition Case Back Cover. Possible to get for a price below USD200. Hard to beat.
It’s weird that seiko 8R48 chronographs don’t get mentioned although they aren’t bargain they have column wheel and vertical clutch which is pretty rare in many Swiss movements
In my opinion, the two best affordable movements for chronograph watches are the Seagull ST-19 and the Seiko mecaquartz. You have to shop around though because some micro brands are charging crazy prices for them. A very nice watch with a ST-19 can be had for under $200 US, a mecaquartz for under $100. Don't get ripped off and pay more.
I think the Tissot PRX Chrono is probably the best bang for your buck chronograph in its price point, but I can understand not including it if you want to highlight the Hamilton.
I'd add the Seiko Speedtimer (quartz) and Bulova Lunar Pilot to that list. That said I want to potentially get that Hamilton Intra-matic chrono at some point, it is just the price is a bit out of reach for what I'd want to spend on it.
I'd like to suggest that the Junghans Meister Telemeter be added to this list. Retro styling with a modern take from a watch maker who's been in business since 1861.
I am just in the process of getting myself an affordable chronograph with the mecha quartz movement. After long consideration I've managed to cut it down to few models.. 1. Forzo Drive king 2. Forzo Endura timer 3. Nezumi Voiture 4. Seiko Speed timer solar 5. HEMEL Air league 6. Yema Meangraph... Can't freaking decide...
More choices: - Dan Henry 1937, a mecha-quartz model that does not advertise it's quartz because it lacks a regular second hand (same movement as Furlan Marri). I'd get this over a MoonSwatch any day. - Hanhart 417 models, mechanical chronographs available with or without a flyback chrono movement, in 39 and 41 mm sizes. - Longines Avigation Bigeye. I've ordered the watches in order of increasing prices and readability. Of course, from a pure practical standpoint any cheap Casio digital watch beats the cr@p out of any analog chronographs.
I'd add the Seiko Speedtimer (solar) and the new one from Timex. I stopped wearing battery powered watches altogether because they will inevitably let you down in the worst possible moment. I could make an exception for the Timex because of that battery hatch. You can easily always carry a spare.
Dan Henry has multiple models of mecaquartz chrons for less than $300. They range from art deco styling to 60's racing chronos. All very well designed and finished for the price.
They are absolute shite quality. Had one brand new and the minute marker and indices inside the dial started falling off after less than 3 months of normal usage. Didn’t make that mistake again, saved up enough and bought a real watch (Oris Okavango). And am I glad I did. If you’re reading this, just save a few hundred bucks more and buy a real watch…
The Seiko mecha-quartz movements stop the second hand after an hour to preserve the battery. You can't time anything over 60 minutes. The movements move beat 5 times per second, which uses substantially more energy than 1 beat per second.
@@ge48421 Thank you for the feedback. I love the idea of a chronograph watch, but hate the idea of having a hand which for 99% of the time, does nothing
The Marloe Atlantic has a very mid-century vibe, a Seiko NE88a automatic movement, and can be had for a whisker under £700. Their quality and finish is really good on all their watches. My Myota powered Marlow Consiton manual stands up under the most ridiculous scrutiny, not embracing itself against my Omega Seamaster in any way.
I'll throw in my Longines Grande Vitesse reference L3.636.4. Swiss made, automatic (Valjuox 7750), great looks, and very affordable. That's why I have one, LOL! I have the silver dial with black subdials.
If you are allowing the mechaquartz, then surely the Bulova Lunar Pilot is the ultimate affordable chronograph with an amazing history and ultimate precision, not to mention ditching the unnecessary 24 hour subdial for a .1 second subdial.
@Rip Peronis Steve McQueens always wore one and had it in his Collection. But was sponsored by Tag Heuer. But he loved the Hanhart. Its a company that stayed true to themselves even today.
@@seanmurphy5427 nice. looks like a great value overall. Good looking watch, but definitely concerned about the thickness. Just seeing that it is a whopping 15mm thick. I have tiny manlet wrists lol unfortunately i think it would look like a tumor.
@@seanmurphy5427 thanks for sharing though. I'm pretty new to watch collecting and am still convinced that replicas are some of the best value for money when it comes to purely buying and enjoying a watch for yourself. I'm not against buying authentic, though it would take me far longer to achieve something of the quality clones offer for fractions of the cost. Specifically when talking chronographs, the value is insane with clones. And u get the cloned dimensions of the in house movements which make for incredibly well fitting, slim chronographs. If you are totally against what i'm saying, i understand and apologize for the rant. But i wanted to give u insight on where im coming from and say thanks for enlightening me on a new watch.
I just bought one, and I have twiggy wrists too 6" wrists. But yet if I was to offer any advice don't buy bulk and poor quality. If you wanted best money hands down. Hamilton all the way. WW2 history been around the block. And vast range of quality for money. Not one person could ever criticize it. Buy what suits you, though. Yet I wear 60% of the time the g shocks. Can't beat them literally. 🤣
Don't need it for boiling an egg, but I use mine for ramen, quiz questions in the class room, and figuring out how fast my car with a broke ln speedometer is going.
I will note that, while the Furlan Marri is a gorgeous watch, I find the boulder of debris at about 4 o'clock on the left subdial irritating. That said, if I thought I could drop $5-600 on a watch without the wife flaying me I'd be giving this watch very serious consideration.
Great video...the tudor has always been one of my favourites....but there's one microbrand you guys haven't reviewed or mentioned. BRELLUM I bought a pandial 3 years ago as it was simply beautiful.... What do you think? Worth including in the next microbrand review?
Brew Metric has to be on the list. Under $500 usd and an awesome retro-modern style. Just got the new gold one and I think it might be the best metric yet
It’s a real shame that so many affordable chronos use the VK mechaquartz series of movements. The 60min scale is illegible. The 24-hr indicator is useless, and many don’t have running seconds. Compared to Ronda 5031.D, the VK fails to deliver. It gives the look without the functionality. I really wish Seiko would modify it or discard it.
Most of your videos are about new watches. On Watchfinder, at this time, there are 4200 watches. 3085 of them are in the "discontinued" section. Covering new watches when you sell mostly discontinued watches must make sense to Watchfinder in some way. I understand that videos about new watches do better than videos on old and that the brands don’t have much incentive to push discontinued and vintage models. But has Watchfinder considered changing its video coverage to better support moving its inventory now that it has built a large audience?
I agree with most of the picks but the seagull 1963 should have been on this list because its the only mechanical chronograph which can be bought for less than 300$
I guess you excluded as them as the lower end ones are quartz but I’m a big Seiko fan so some of the prospex speed timers, especially used, deserve a look if someone after great looking , great value , well made chronograph
Citizen Blue Angels or Seiko Flightmaster ... Seiko Coutura perpetual, Seagull 1963 or any of the Seagull or Sugess designs (I actually prefer the Sugess designs) with an ST19 automatic movement - some with swan neck (find me another automatic chronograph for under $500?). Bulova Lunar Pilot ... yes it is quartz but high frequency and the 'been on the moon' heritage. Brew Metric, Dan Henry, Stratton Speziale, Boldr Venture titanium Chronograph.
My capacity is less than your selection. I was going to buy a tudor but decided that I would like to have more cheaper bands for the flavors of others like seiko seagull and vostok for the same money. Or my car. Hehe.
The finishing on Furlan Marri dial is sadly not impressive. So Andrew, with Mecaquarts and this dial, unfortunately I can't agree that the Furlan Marri is a bargain. The Baltic Tricompax however, even with double the price of the Furlan Marri, I think is a better purchase.
The Omega Speedmaster 125th anniversary with the cal. 1041 is IMHO an absolute bargain at the moment. You can get a unique looking watch with space history (over 145 days non stop in space) horological significance (first chronometer certified chronograph) and produced in (very) small numbers for 1/10 of the price of a Daytona… Not to mention that the evolution of the cal. 1041 movement is now used only by Breguet for their five fingers chronographs…
The Tudor is a bargain because its ceramic case. The bb chrono is a bargain because it gives access to movement that can be had for 3k more with Breitling. Longines has a hew note worthy good value for money chronos. The Speedmaster is still a bargain all things considered. As are Zenith's El Primeros. Unfortunately there are few options between 3 and 8k with an exhibition case back. That's what I would find attractive... The Spirit Pioneer, but in SS and with a sapphire back... I'd pay for that, even if they keep it at 16.5mm thick.
Great video. I have a Bamford B347 which could hit this list. In carbon it's stunning & with a monopusher it's super cool! I think it cost just a bit more than the intramatic
To echo comment section, it's a travesty that Seikos Speedtimer isn't here. Not just because it's an absolute bargain, but because it's better looking than MOST of the watches here
I have been f****** waiting for someone to stop using the f****** 7750 in automatic form, it's obnoxious it's not useful, the only reason to have a watch is to interact with and have fun. Convenience is useless. And now they finally made one of the best most affordable and all-around beautiful chronograph that has ever existed and it is already f****** sold out. I swear to God they better make some more because I need one of these f******
Yes, the Baltic Peter Auto costs CHF 1'800.--. But not only because of the "Swissness": As cherrys on the top of this cake, you get two super cool stopwatches ;)
Never question Watchfinder’s choices, it’s offbeat and on target at the same time, no brand loyalty, just facts. I never wanted a Tudor, until I saw ‘Knightrider’. Addendum, possibly Q Timex Chrono? NOT Omega Moon Swatch, they’ve pitched the price well but created a Lego-esque aftermarket of flippers, I feel sorry for the ones who ended up with Venus.

not automatic .
@@manuvns Who cares? Zhicao gave examples of very good watches. The automatic vs. quartz is like comparing diesel and petrol engines in cars. Everyone has different needs, so quartz watches are fine for me.
I’d add the Red Star seagull 1963. So pretty and damned reasonable.
I can't find a site that sells it with a clear case back. It's always some shady bootleg when I find it online.
@@gunstering chrono24 has original Sea-Gulls with display backs. You need to make sure that the brand is Sea-Gull, and it is not just in the name of the product (those are the copies, not bootlegs because they are legal too).
@@ADthehawk Thank you so much !
@@ADthehawk honestly? the guy who designed sea-gull's 1963 reissue works for red star and sugess, so it's about the same in originality
The Seiko Speed Timer is my favorite sub-$1000 chrono. Really nice piece that can be had around $400-500 USD pre-owned.
I can get them new for around $450 us new.
Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster is one that needs a shout out. Beautiful watch.
Its too small only 39mm

i guest he is targetting for something less popular, the prx is prolly the best watch line rn
Agreed- a list of "bargain" chronos needs to include the best value for a cheono before any Tudor
I'd add the Seiko FlightMaster, and the Seagull 1963.
Agree, I would add also an vintage Sturmanskie P31659 to that list…

What about the frederique Constant flyback chrono? A beautiful peice.
Is there's an Alpine with the same movement?
My daily is a Bulova curved chronograph on bracelet. Sapphire glass on both sides and on bracelet it ticks all the right boxes

It’s a real shame that so many affordable chronos use the VK mechaquartz series of movements. The 60min scale is illegible. The 24-hr indicator is useless, and many don’t have running seconds.
