Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Everybody loves a bit of a bargain, especially when it comes to watches. You see people online casually talking about watches priced like a well-spec’d 3-series and it makes you feel as though you’re on a different planet. But luxury watches don’t have to cost tens of thousands-you can get a handsome timepiece on your wrist for way less than that. So, here are three affordable alternatives to expensive chronographs that just might be up your street.
Featured Watches:
Frederique Constant Flyback Chronograph Maufacture FC-760V4H4
Oris ChronOris 673 7739 40 34 LS

    I’ve had one for 2 years now, slate grey dial, an absolutely lovely watch to say the least! The pushers feel fantastic, the box crystal gives it a nice vintage feel. The only complaints that I have about the F-760 are its case-size, at 42 mm I have been giving less and less wrist time since I got my BB58 earlier this year, and the date sub-dial at 6... gives the dial a slightly crowded look. Other than that, fantastic watch, much bang for the buck.

    The problem is that GS chronographs are way too big and thiccc. In some cases it needs to be big enough for all 3 subdials, a date, a power reserve indicator and a GMT hand, which then translates to a diameter of 44.5mm and a 17mm thick case, because the movement is humongous, has a 3-day power reserve and is automatic. Maybe in the future, with the new batch of updated spring drive movements, they can reduce the dimensions of both case and movement, but at the moment it's for the large-wristed enthusiasts.
