Rolex Daytona is the chronograph that stopped the world, and it still has a waiting list years long. Forget racing heritage for its own sake. Luxury is a ceramic bezel, a tri-compax dial, a movement that beats at 28,800. It is the watch that Paul Newman made legendary, and it still is.
Omega Speedmaster is the watch that went to the moon, and it never lets you forget. Forget space for its own sake. Luxury is a tachymeter bezel, a tri-compax dial, a manual movement. It is the most important chronograph ever made, and it is still affordable.
