This list aims to revisit some of these overlooked timepieces and determine which ones deserve a spot on the 'Nice!' list. Here are our selections for the Best Chronograph Watches of 2024.

Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud - FB 2RE.2

The Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud FB 2RE.2 is a genuine chronograph with a hidden pusher in the crown. We love its compact 39mm diameter and slim 9.27mm height. The star of the watch is the calibre A5000 manually wound monopusher chronograph movement.

Patek Philippe - Nautilus Chronograph 5961/1A-001

The Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph 5961/1A-001 takes a classic design and turns it into a lightweight timing instrument. It features a grade 5 titanium case and a slate grey dial with a Clous de Paris decoration. Despite its hidden movement, the watch has a reasonable height of 12mm. This luxury sports chronograph comes on an integrated titanium bracelet and is part of the permanent collection.

IWC Schaffhausen - Portugieser Chronograph Automatic Reference 3903

The IWC Schaffhausen Portugieser Chronograph Automatic Reference 3903 offers two varieties: the Dune Beige in steel and the Horizon Blue in white gold. These watches have elegant designs with clean and refined dials. The Dune Beige comes on a black alligator leather strap, while the Horizon Blue has a matching gradient blue calfskin leather strap. There is also a red gold option available.

Omega - Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch

The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch is an iconic timepiece that has been redesigned for 2024. The standout feature is its wonderful blue-grey dial. The watch retains its classic case and features a black aluminium bezel insert with a Base-500 tachymeter scale, metallic Alpha hands, and other subtle changes. It is powered by the reliable Omega Calibre 3861 movement.

Tissot - PR 516 Chronograph Mechanical

The Tissot PR 516 Chronograph Mechanical pays homage to the original PR 516 series from the 1960s. It has a vintage charm with its stainless steel case, black dial, and touches of orange and blue. The watch houses the manually wound Valjoux A05.291 chronograph movement and is part of the permanent collection at an affordable price.

Overall, these chronograph watches offer exceptional design and performance. They represent some of the best timepieces of 2024 and are worth considering for any watch enthusiast.
