Every time I watch one of Teddy B's videos, I feel complete and I know all the key information. Then he drops another video and it opens up a whole new world for me that I didn't know existed.

For those interested in Seiko Speedtimer panda dial I recommend looking at the SSC813 and SSC911 at the same time. I started with the SSC813 and now I wear the SSC911. SSC911 has a bigger dial and slightly different combination of color, dial design, and font, but the main advantage for me is that the SSC911 has lumes on all twelve hour markers, while the SSC813 only has four markers (3, 6, 9, and 12) lumed, making the former a more suitable daily wear. On the other hand, size wise the SSC813 may be a more versatile watch with a 39mm dial, and the dial design as well as bezel colorization might suit the taste of more traditional panda dial lovers.

My first luxury watch purchase was an Omega Speedmaster ‘57 and I absolutely love it. It never leaves the daily wear rotations. I have the narrow hand instead of broad arrow hand version and it’s gorgeous. I much prefer the overall look of the ‘57 over the Moonwatch. The dial and especially the bracelet are much more pleasing visually to me.

We love our chronographs, so always a welcome comparison. That said, to me the best cost effective chrono at a low/affordable pricepoint is from Dan Henry, now discontinued. I have the 1964 Dan Henry Evil Panda Dial Chrono and for the price in particular, this is the best chrono available that can be found on line used. Punches way above its pricepoint and dead accurate Seiko Meca-quartz. Dan made other variants as well but the Evil Panda is my personal favorite.

The Breitling Pistachio green dial is a stunning timepiece. Definitely agree that it is underrated.

I've seen the Bulova Chrono on the web but I didn't like it by looking at it on the pictures. It looks much better on the wrist as you showed it on this video. The Nevada Grenchen looks Awesome!

Love that Zenith. That and a MUT moon would be my dream two watch collection.

I went with the SSC limited edition from Seiko. I thought the styling and functionality outweighs the romance of a mechanical movement. I'll take the accuracy and usability of solar quartz over the bottomless pockets you need for some of these others.

I was just doing research on mechanical chronographs around the $2000 price range. For anyone shopping around, do not forget the Lorier Gemini, Hanhart 417 ES and the Christopher Ward C65 chrono. The Lorier uses the seagull movement, the other 2 use the Sellita SW510.

Seiko coutura is a truly underrated watch here that rarely gets a mention....chronograph, perpetual calander, alarm, solar powered (you name it and the feature is there) with a great balance of sportiness and dress styling.

Teddy, I want to say thank you for sharing your ideas on your KZfaq channel and through your articles. My knowledge of watches has increased so much since I started following you. On suggestion I have is that I would like to see you do some interviews with the owners of some American microbrand companies, like Detroit Watch Company, Weiss Watch Company, and Vortic Watches like you did with RGM Watches. It seems the last 10 years have been the beginnings of an American watch manufacturing renaissance movement. These brands are definitely underrated, and it would be interesting to see you use your platform to draw attention to these companies and this movement. I can imagine in another 5-10 years, there will be a American movement manufacturer and truly 100% made in America watches.

Teddy, I love your videos and certainly your taste in watches but one thing that always gets me is when I see an incredible watch for the first time on your wrist, and then learn that it’s a 38 or 39mm case. I’m 6’4”, around 250 lbs and my wrist is just under 8”; anything under a 42 distracts me with how just out of place it looks in the corner of my eye. I actually was obsessed with the Zenith El Primero chronograph until I got to try one on during vacation last month. It’s so much smaller than I had imagined! Idk I’m not complaining but I wouldn’t be upset if you threw in a side note every now and then for us big fellas!

Two weeks ago I bought my first ever chronograph watch (Citizen) through Teddy's store. It's blueish dial is amazing. Outstanding watch for the price. Great video, all are wonderful watches.

That Breitling premier with the pistachio dial is awesome. I have a feeling it may be a love it or hate it watch. As for me, I love it. Those love it or hate it pieces are a fascinating little sector of collecting I think. Everyone has some kind of emotional response to those types of watches lol. Can make for great entertainment!

Very nice list.The Breitling and the Lange are those that stand out in my opinion. The IWC Portugieser is missing though..

I would also like to suggest the Junghans Meister driver chronographs. They are reasonable and ooze the vintage classic chronograph vibes.

Once again a Teddy review without any mention or inclusion of Fortis! They have some excellent Chronograph models backed with a lot of history and heritage. C’mon after all they invented the first automatic watch. Not understanding why this guy keeps ignoring Fortis and there isn’t a single review of any of their watches!

missed my favorite, the Vacheron 1955 cornes de vache :)

Black Bay Chrono S&G review coming?! I'm super interested in that piece and would love your take on it, Teddy.

I’ve got the Yema Speedgraf with the Seiko NE86 automatic movement. I think it also fits here on this list as there is some real heritage there. Another great video Teddy!

I think the TAG Heuer Monaco with their Heuer 02 movement from a blueprint from 1969 is worth the price of $5.000.

I just recently found out about the Timex Q Chronograph and I’m hooked! I need one 🥵

As much as I love Seiko, the Hamilton and Tudor, inverted-panda pieces are amazing looking (and I’ve never been a big chrono-guy) Awesome video, well done!

That Longines Record Heritage Chrono is beautiful, how have I not seen this before?

I'm not the biggest chronograph fan in the world, but I'm very glad I picked up a Seiko Speedtimer. I haven't been disappointed.

Hey Teddy, in the mid 60’s I received a Croton Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver as a gift from my parents. I don’t know the story but it’s a duplicate of the Nicaea Gretchen in your video. It’s in the shop being serviced now and I just bought a Tropical rubber bands for it, as that’s the way it came new. Mine has an extra dial with the date as well.

For those on a super tight budget, keep an eye out for Timex, whenever they restock the recent Timex Q Chronograph, super lovely vintage race styling under at around $200-ish.

I saw chronograph in the title and would hope to see the most underrated chrono out there… the jlc Polaris chrono

I'm a chrono guy. I just love chronographs, whether it's a diver, dress, sports, aviation watch it has to have a chrono function. Loved the watches on the vid but when talking heritage chronographs there should be a few more in that list, like Rolex Daytona and TAG Heuer Monaco. Still a great vid.

I feel Hanhart deserves a mention as well, as worn by Steve McQueen.

I know one day you’ll pull the trigger on a Lange, Teddy :D The honey gold Chrono definitely caught my eye; when you peruse the Lange website you can definitely find a wide array of appealing models.

Dan Henry has multiple mecaquartz based heritage chronographs under $300. I have a 1939 ww2 military chrono and my wife wears the 1937 art deco themed chrono. Both very retro good looking and affordable.

Hamilton, Tudor, & Breitling (pistachio face) are excellent!

You are my video haven for normalcy. Lately had to bail out of music videos trying to be an information video. So much music over voice was difficult to hear the spoken voice. Love your presentations, straight forward information, very well presented. Some watches I have never seen. For me, today is 70 trips around the sun. Buying and watch repair the last 20 years. As it is a special day, from the safe, my Rolex Day Date Gold President 40 mm is on my wrist.

I think that Breitling Premier might be my grail watch. Love the dial.

Because of your good friend Kevin I bought a red rubber strap for an automatic watch !

The timex w chrono should be included next time teddy I think for the money it’s fantastic!!! Thank you for the video

Nice, have the Hamilton, Sinn and Tudor would like to add that zenith and Breitling!

That breguet is so clean and understated. Love it.

I have a Brew Metric and I love it! That Bulova is interesting. Thanks for sharing Teddy. Hope all is well!

Love your show. Please share with us what watch you are wearing in this eposide.

I really like the Hamilton intra matic. Would be cool if they made them with the hour counter. Hopefully someday.

Big respect for mentioning the seagull, I think in the west we're scared of the image of Chinese manufacturing far too much The seagull stuff looks insane for the price and does make me feel like it opens up the watch world to people on more limited budgets whilst always offering unbeatable value for money It will have its drawbacks, but I feel like seagull has some real gems

That Longines Record is stunning…👊🏻💯⌚️😍 I know it’s always “something” but I would love so much if it had date or day/date even…

Great selection of pieces, really enjoyed seeing such a nice range of the market. As always your presentation is extremely well done, complete and professionally presented / produced. (But could you lean outa saying 'lean into' every 53.4 seconds - I timed with my new chronograph : -)

Great video - personally I love this type of watches and amazing to see that even the low end ones are really nice looking watches

That longines was beautiful

Another fantastic video Teddy, fascinating insight that I could never achieve on my own and perfectly pitched. Thank you

Great vid and great lineup of modern chronographs. Love it.

Thanks for pressenting watches of a good size , 38-39,5mm.

I have never been disappointed since I became a customer of amzwatch. Their watches are of exceptional quality.

Wearing my Hamilton panda auto chrono today! Love this watch.

Love these chronographs. I always learn something new when watching your videos.

Some really beautiful chronographs Teddy. Thank you.

I love the Breguet mainly for its lineage! Have not tried one as of yet but still a bucket list watch!

Teddy is one of my favorite youtube personalities, and this channel was one of my favorite new discoveries of 2022. That being said, I hope Courtney didn't see him in this turtleneck.

The Vacheron Constantin Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955 would be my personal pick!

I have the Longines Record Heritage and love it for its looks! One thing is that the rotor is very loud, anyone else have this?

I have the seagull and I absolutely love it

The Citizen EcoDrive chronograph range makes most of your suggestions look very silly, Teddy. And no, I don't own one. But if I wanted a sub-$2,000 chronograph (I'm way past that stage) that's the brand I'd be targeting. Just take a look at them. Bargains all, but brilliant.

Teddy , you made a fantastic list of watches and I learned a lot with you . Thank you so much .

That was exactly the video I needed, it feels like Teddy just read my mind.

Great vid, Teddy. I would love to see a commentary on accessible rattrapante chronos.

I'm an old timer now Teddy the ex Engineer on the RR... I have 3 Hamiltons including the automatic chrono Intra Matic with the Valjoux movement... Love that watch..P.S. Love that sea green Breitling, whoa yes, spectacular.....! Gorgeous,... .Ciao, Ciao, Greg

I have the EBEL 1911 Discovery model for 18 years and it is one of the most accurate Chronographs. In 18 years I have never had to service my 1911, and I had a famous watch store test my watch and I was told (confidently) that it is as accurate as a Rolex Daytona! When I walked into the store the sales manager, came over and noticed my 1911, and told me the history of the 1911. He told me that it is still a popular watch which was made famous with its’ exposure on the Miami Vice TV show.

Sorry Teddy, but how can a list of best heritage chronographs be complete without a Heuer Carrera reissue?

Thanks for sharing! Love this entire list but ... My top pick is absolutely that great lookin' Hamilton Chrono H Auto 😍👍🏼

Outstanding, Teddy! A great range and selection, with your straightforward and informative presentation.

Always good to see one of my watches in your good books. Thanks Teddy

Teddy what do you think about the new upgraded Seiko solar chronograph speedtimer you love? Primarily the SSC911 with its Silver/black bezel that reminds me of Zenith Chronomaster Sport. I have one, and its 41mm doesn't actually feel big at all

Love my chronographs. Three on my list are the Hamilton, Longines and Tissot.

Fantastic choices! The thing is, I want a Bucherer chronograph in the $8000. But for now, it's too much money to spend on a watch. But on this list, I saw some great alternatives with a a similar look for much less money. And watches that I'd be proud to wear on my wrist.

Teddy what´s your thoughts on the breitling top time?

Heck yee, bring those heritage chronographs over here uncle Bulbazarre!

The best part of the production on a wide range of prices. All these Chronographs are beautiful from 300 $ to 50 000 $. i would be happy to buy , the LONGINES, the OMEGA Speedmaster, the BREITLING (green one) and the BREGUET .

Great video!

Happy New Year, Teddy. Another class video. Not a huge lover of Chronos tbh & so only have one in the collection. A 3861 Hesalite.

Farer new classic magenta chrono is a thing of beauty for less than 2,5k

Another microbrand that I would consider is Corniche with their Heritage Chronograph, but I haven't had the chance to actually see them in person. Does anyone have any experience or opinion on these?

For retro look but more affordable and well appreciated by watch collectors/enthusiasts I would also recommend Dan Henry - racing themed watches.

Thanks so much for another fantastic list Teddy. Breitling Premier BO9 is the standout for me. Exceptional in every way.

I was looking for a cheap chronograph for about 3 months, and randomly found the Seiko SBTR029 (

I also would have selected the A.Lange & Söhne fly back chronograph. What a masterpiece !

That Grand Seiko on your wrist! Wow!

You should have squeezed Blancpain Air Command in between Breguet and Lange. It's pretty much a direct facsimile of the 1950s Air Command, and IMO one of the handsomest chronos in production now.

I understand watches coming down in size. however for someone with a 19cm/7.4 inch very flat and wide wrist I just cant pull off these 38mm chronographs I really enjoy the vintage styles but my Chronographs need to be 41-44 mm depending on the lug to lug. I own several dress watches that are 40mm and they where like a 36mm on me. I really do like the reduced sizes on most wrists just don't forget about the larger wrist enthusiasts.

no way! filming in my home town!

Surprised not to see a Hanhart?

There are so many watches now that utilize the Seagull ST19 mechanical chronograph movement, that I'm surprised that you continue to showcase the Seagull 1963. That was the first and only option a few years ago, but now there are so many more options to choose from if you want an affordable mechanical chronograph using the ST19. Many of them cost just $200 and have great specs, and unique designs, such as vintage military, racing, diving, medical chronographs. Actually, I think most are superior to the Seagull 1963. Thanks for your great videos.

Man I kinda want a longine master or aqua terra

A very fine list for sure. Probably too many watches out there to name, but what are your thoughts about this one? Eterna 1940 - CHRONOGRAPH TELEMETER . I've considered this one myself, but wasn't really convinced the brand is doing so well... so concerns about them going bankrupt.

Great video. For the same range as Habring2 I would add the Glashutte Seventies Chrono Panorama date.

Love that Zenith Chronomaster original, and especially that panda dial. Most vintage looking watch of them all. If I can only wear 1 watch for the rest of my life, that is my candidate. Paired well with a vintage omega or something

I was just looking at the 356 yesterday

Informative and solid content..... Review *

just got the sugess chronograph from sea gull its nice would recommend cost me only $180

Nice selection, especially the Seagull is quite a cool piece. On the upper end of the price range, I would definitely see the Speedmaster 321 Ed White the best heritage Chrono of them all. It doesn’t get any better than this.

Great video, as always!

The Zenith would tick all the boxes if it had just 100m water resistance. Need a Chronograph some time in the future to complete my collection (if that is possible). Requirements: around 40mm diameter, 100m wr, not to thick, chronometer grade movement and some classic. There are quite a few nice options in this video but I'm not in a hurry.
