Hey Dave! Can you beat a Seagull 1963 in the budget chronograph world? I doubt it! But if you can it would be a re-issue of the old Soviet Sturmanskie and Poljot watches... If Poljot24 have any under $500? Which I'm pretty sure they do - a maca-quartz homage of the Strela that was worn during Man's 1st Space Walk. Otherwise, in quartz, I reckon Bulova is king. You can always get the Lunar Pilot for under $400, but their new 'surfboard' dial Chronographs and another watch I only know as the 'Bulova Lobster' fit in price wise - easily - and are absolutely gorgeous! Cheers mate. I love having this series back!

For Chronographs, The Seiko Flightmaster SNA411. I like the Bulova Lunar Pilot, but the lug to lug is massive... I have no personal experience with any of the Dan Henry Chronos, but I'm a big fan of the design. I have owned a couple Seagull Auto Chronos, both 38mm with sapphire, but the QC was poor on both models; losing a minute a day or more. If you could find one that runs well, that would probably be my favorite, but I have personally been unsuccessful. Still, the Flightmaster is by far the best sub 500 option I have ever seen. As a sidenote, my favorite diver is that specific Samurai. You can beat the heck out of it, it looks great, has the nh35, and the rubber strap is surprizingly great. Love the content of your channel!

It's quite loud and sounds like a diesel engine slowly chugging along. Much different than anything else I've ever experienced.

Lorier is about to release the third version of their beautiful Neptune diver which just squeaks in at $499. As for chronographs, Lorier also makes the Gemini, which uses the Seagull ST19 mechanical movement and can be had for under $500. At under $250 there's of course the Seagull 1963 and the Seiko SNA411 "Flightmaster" which are pretty popular. There's literally hundreds of quartz chronographs from Seiko in the SSB (mecaquartz) and SSC (solar) series. The SSB033, SSC009, and SSC667 I think are particularly attractive. There's also tons of micro brands using Seiko mecaquartz movements like Undone and Dan Henry.

For next month’s Chronographs under $500. Short answer: Bulova Lunar Pilot Long Answer: Analog chronographs only; too many digital ones to consider. 1/5 second precision minimum. 1 second and 1/2 second (Bulova Curv) precision chronographs are more dress watch than flexible chronograph. For mechanical chronographs, I found a NOS Bulova Accu-Swiss Tellaro automatic chronograph (65C116) for under $400, but those are probably all gone. The Seagull chronograph with exhibition caseback looks interesting. For quartz chronographs, my first pick is the Bulova Lunar Pilot. For less money is the Bulova 98B298, which uses the Lunar Pilot 262 kHz movement. The very tasteful Bulova Precisionist 96B260 is still available, but is no longer shown in the US catalog. Most of the other Precisionists are just too large and overstyled. The Citizen World Chronograph AT Blue Angels is less than $400. It is my favorite Citizen chronograph. After I bought it, I gave away my Seiko chronograph. I recently purchased two different color versions of the Glycine Combat Sub Quartz Chronograph (GL100x), which have been selling for under $200. Casio has the 5174 analog chronograph module, which they place in their JDM Lineage LIW-M610 watches (all SS or titanium construction) starting below $200. Casio uses the same module in their less expensive JDM WVQ-M410 watches. This module replicates most of the functions of Casio digital watches (World Time, stopwatch, countdown timer, alarm) in a totally analog manner with Tough Solar and Multi-Band 6.
