Best Racing Chronographs Under $1000

At $1,000 you're really only just getting warmed up in the world of quality racing chronographs, you can go much higher and your money can go much, much faster There are two features which define a good racing watch A chronograph is a watch with a separate stopwatch function, usually featuring an extra sub-dial and pushers at the 2 and 4 o'clock positions to start/stop and reset the second hand.

We start with the distinctly racing tuned Addax Chronograph by American brand Lapizta founded by third generation watchmakers When one of the Group's brands, GV2, decided to develop their own version of a racing chrono watch, they adopted the Scuderia name in honor of Italy's proud racing heritage The watch features a solar powered movement with a 1/5 second chronograph, as well as alarm and date, housed in a solid stainless steel case with unidirectional rotating bezel, water resistant to 100 meters.

Finally, just squeezing in under the $1,000 mark, from Swiss brand Maurice Lacroix, this Pontos Chronograph is a 43mm watch with all the qualities you would expect of a Swiss watch. . Source
