Budget chronograph?

Hi all!

I'm getting the itch to add a chronograph into my personal collection that I could also wear everyday.
Any good automatic chronos made by seiko? I'm also looking at the robust 7750 movement watches from other brands.

Seiko SNN241

Looks sharp, but it’s quartz.

The Omega Speedmaster

Is the classic chrono. I think it is a must have for all serious watch collectors.

Older Credor chronographs are awesome and budget friendly. I got mine for just north of $1600 and it comes with the seiko 6s movement which is a great in house column wheel chrono.

That's a great Credor. I'm pretty sure its twin is the old Seiko Flightmaster SBDS001. I had the chance to pick up a Flightmaster at a fair price a few years back. I wish I had bought it.

I often wonder if Apollo 11 had as many dials as some of today's modern watches?
