All your adventuring needs can be met with tough, modern chronographs

Here are the best new chronographs for the contemporary horologer that are both fun to use and even more fun to look at in action.

Chronographs come in two main varieties, one classic and elegant, made for special occasions and gracing the wrist at polo matches and awards ceremonies. The other type is a brawler: loud colours, tough materials, and all the pushers and subdials you could ask for – perfect for Formula 1 races and all sorts of adventures. Now that we’re back in action, it’s time to celebrate the chronograph watch that looks like it was designed to take a beating.
