5 Sport Chronographs for the Sporty Man

Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600 M Co-Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph

We start the list with a real heavyweight among sports watches, the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600 M Co-Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph . The stainless steel case, with a diameter of 45.5 millimeters, houses a column wheel chronograph, the technical quality of which is complemented by the helium escape valve of a hardcore driver and a fine sapphire crystal case back. The watch is extremely robust and water-resistant to 600 meters. The advantages of the 9900 manufacture movement also include 15,000 gauss magnetic field protection, an incredible 60 hours of power reserve and METAS certification, which is almost a given for an Omega, but definitely places the movement in the top class.

In terms of design, the watch's fresh, lively accents are impressive. The orange contrasts tastefully with the black of the ceramic bezel and dial. The sophisticated bicompax layout shows the stopped time units in a single totalizer next to the three o'clock, making it impressive from a functional point of view. This leaves space for the central date window at 6 o'clock, which avoids an overcrowded dial. The men's sports watch is available for 8,300 euros according to the manufacturer's RRP.

Oris Artix GT Chronograph

This chronograph is available for a generous 3000 euros. Oris combines the elegance of a dress watch with the powerful charisma of a sports watch. With its 44 millimeter diameter, the Oris Artix certainly attracts attention, but it can also afford it. The beautiful stainless steel case is water-resistant to 100 meters and is crowned by the bidirectional, polished rotating bezel. The classic shine that runs through the design of the watch is clearly also its strength. The energy for the automatic men's watch is provided by the caliber 774, which is based on the Sellita SW 500 and runs with a 48-hour power reserve - including a viewing window.

The noble character of the watch is fully expressed in the dial of the chronograph. The shimmering grey surface and the twelve applied indices give the chronograph its high-quality impression, which is complemented by a tachymeter scale and the familiar Tricompax layout with date display. A Superluminova coating is also applied to the markings and hands.

Tag Heuer Formula 1 Quartz Chronograph 43mm

For watch fans for whom the sporty aspect plays the main role and the subject of mechanics is secondary, the Tag Heuer Formula 1 series may be just the right choice. For just 1400 euros (manufacturer's price) you get an elegant overall package with dynamic design, sophisticated case workmanship and water resistance of up to 200 meters. Even at second - and third - glance, the sports watch loses none of its powerful effect. The stainless steel case is rounded off by the alternating polished and satin-finished surfaces.

The powerful tachymeter bezel and the orange color accents are also impressive. The strong blue tone of the sapphire glass is taken up by the bezel and contributes fundamentally to the masculine look of the sports chronograph. In addition to the interesting design, the precision quartz movement is also a good reason to buy it. The strap should also be mentioned, because its design in blue, white and orange alludes to the main colors of Formula 1 and cleverly picks up on the name of the watch on the design side.

Longines Conquest Automatic Chronograph 41mm

With its 41 millimeter diameter, this sports chronograph shows that even slimmer watches can boast a masculine design. The futuristic crown guard combines the pusher and crown into a control center whose design is characterized by striking black and silver contrasts. The tachymeter bezel may be a little more subtle, but the watch's luminous material stands out all the more. The technical data is also impressive: a solid measuring tape, 54 hours of power reserve, water resistant to 300 meters and, with the L688.2, a reliable automatic movement. This makes the Conquest an ideal option for leisure and business for around 2000 euros.

Bell & Ross BR 03-94 RS20

Last but not least: A real exotic among our recommendations from Bell & Ross . The square ceramic case is particularly noteworthy here, which takes the theme of racing into its own in a very special way in its design. The watch with its combination of futuristic elements and aesthetic allusions to the 2020 Formula 1 car from Renault is limited to 999 pieces for a reason. The sports edition offers a dial with a diameter of 42 millimeters on which the interplay of black, white and bright yellow creates an impressive overall picture. If you want something very special on your wrist, you should definitely consider this sports chronograph.
