Typically available for around $50, the Pagani Design PD-2720K is likely the best budget chronograph that money can buy. For such a low price, you get a Seiko VK67 mecha-quartz hybrid movement, which is typically found in far more expensive watches upwards of $200.
Not only is the movement good, but the watch looks surprisingly premium too. I mentioned the solid case finishing and elegant glass in my review of this watch, which contributes to it looking far from the cheap piece. If you’re after a fashionable chronograph, this is far superior to more expensive options like Vincero and will look great on larger wrists.
