Affordable chronos

Give your wrist more dials for less money

Diesel Overflow DZ4414

Two-tone leather and a hypermodern black dial don’t distract from the Overflow’s chronograph skills, although the green crystal might. It’s also available with clear and orange crystals – shop around and you should be able to pick one up for around £130. £185, diesel.com

Fossil Grant

A classy watch at a very low price. The Grant’s roman numerals won’t be to everyone’s taste and the movement is, naturally, not top tier. But it’s elegantly designed, not as massive as some chronos, and straddles the line between making a statement and cool sophistication. £72, fossil.com

Casio Edifice EFR-539D-1A2VUEF

Chunky stainless bracelets are timeless, but Casio’s Edifice line is far from stuck in the past; it’s turning standard chronograph design on its head. With 100m water resistance it’s unlikely to let you down any time soon. £160, casio.com
