Chronograph watches combine everyday timekeeping with stopwatch functionality, often adding tachymeter scales, sub-dials, and sport-driven design cues. Chronograph movements include everything from meca-quartz and high-accuracy quartz to solar and mechanical chronographs — resulting in different trade-offs in cost, servicing, and tactile feel.
