Hey Folks - wanted to reach out for any suggestions on a chronograph. Characteristics I’m looking for:

- 40mm-37mm
- case thickness thinner than 13mm
- sapphire caseback
- dress/casual
- In-house movement
- prefer precious metal but could do steel
- blue or white dial
- 10 years old or newer
- $15000 or under

Thanks folks!

Daytona with a Preik caseback.

Have fun..

Whilst you’ve specified 40mm as the largest size you’re interested in, you really shouldn’t ignore the 41mm VCO 49150, as various factors come into play over and above the static dimensions.

maybe something from Blancpain ?
18K and under $10K, 38 X 11.5mm

Under $4k 38mm X 11.7

in Rose gold under $10K

40X 13mm and under $7K

this is just a little bigger but stunning: XXI

the XX is 39.5mm

and there are the IWC Portuguese...the newer models now have an in-house movement and a display back

bugger ! just read that you said blue or white dial...well the Blancpain are available in white and Portuguese are available in blue or white...

Most of the ones I can think of are stainless steel.

Zenith El Primero 146 Heritage.

Zenith El Primero 1969 38mm

JLC Master Chronograph 1538530

Rolex Daytona White Dial

Omega Speedmaster CK2998 311.33.40.30.02.001

Breitling Transocean 38mm A4131012/C862-171A

El-Duderino · 4 October 2018, 03:40 AM

If you don’t mind going up to 41mm, then IWC Portugieser has a couple models.

ap1 · 4 October 2018, 03:59 AM

I like the jlc or zenith options above

kunlun · 4 October 2018, 04:30 AM

Breguet type XX, or an old JLC Master chronograph, both are excellent.

Burlington · 4 October 2018, 05:44 AM

The IWC chronos are lovely - also consider the yacht club.

Love that watch.
How about a vacheron overseas chronograph. 42mm, but with the curved lugs she wears more like a 40. Plus you can get it with a rubber dive strap too!

El-Duderino · 5 October 2018, 01:57 AM

One final thought and then I’m done: Breitling Montbrillant 01. Blue dial, 40mm, and comes in SS and the LE in gold.

Vc 47101?i regret selling mine. (It’s a Lemania movement though)

CoveWatch · 6 October 2018, 04:01 AM

Lange saxonia is simple, elegant and amazing in quality!

vladamir15 · 10 October 2018, 01:41 PM

This one - no doubt - nothing better @ ~15k
Lange Saxonia 37mm rose gold

rofl didn't see the chronograph part. Thought he was asking for only a dress watch.

At least now I know people aren't just weird and inclined to have only a chronograph as a dress watch suggestion.

Txkill · 12 October 2018, 05:18 AM

I’m in your boat too...still don’t know which way to go...leaning towards zenith el primero 38, but am still totally undecided. Heuer Carrera or Hamilton might win out too. Don’t know!

IWC 3714 WG Ardoise dial.

AltiTudor · 12 October 2018, 05:41 AM

I'm going to suggest something a little different: the Habring Doppel-Felix. It's a little bigger at 42mm, but a beautiful piece from a small indy house.
