The "Chronos Top 10 Watches Rankings," a reader-selected series, was launched in conjunction with a regular feature in Chronos Japan. The system is quite simple: webChronos readers are asked to vote for their No. 1 watch from among the top 10 watches in Chronos Japan's rankings. This time, the criteria were set as "purchasable from an authorized retailer, with a metal bracelet, and equipped with an automatic movement," and the subject was luxury sports watches. Voting results were tallied from December 2, 2021, to December 9, 2021.

・Simple, classic design with high cost performance. It seems that the brand's popularity still has room to grow.
-It is a watch that is close to the origins of luxury sports and has the prestige of a brand.
- Because it has history and tradition, I believe that classic design will never die out.

- The form and finish are refined without any sense of clumsiness. I think it's a great example of a full model change (although I love the old model too, of course).
The beautiful hands and the easy-to-read indexes are a design that is the pinnacle of functional beauty. The main reason is that I love Breguet!
・I feel that the brand has a good balance of dignity, functionality, design, and price.
⤴︎2nd place
A. Lange & Söhne "Odysseus"
A. Lange & Söhne "Odysseus"
Automatic winding. SS. 3,663,000 yen (tax included). (Inquiries) A. Lange & Söhne Tel. 0120-23-1845

-It has been developed over a long period of time, and is well made from the movement to the dial.
I like the dial and overall design. The bracelet width is varied, which is time-consuming. If the price wasn't a factor, I'd buy it.
-A refined design that could become a representative model of the brand, replacing the Lange 1.
