Check out Dan Henry for vintage looking homage chronos
All 3 of your suggestions are great choices!
I could add:
Orient Neo-70's Chronograph
Timex Marlin Chronograph
I own the Timex Q in "reverse" Panda and can vouch that it's a great watch! 👍
IMO I would avoid the Seiko despite it being a fantastically great looking watch which is the perfect size for small wrists.
The sub dials are purpleish rather than black in some lighting conditions (I know that these are the solar charging panels).
The 24 hour sub dial is all but useless.
The sub dial at 6 is too small as is the date window.
The tiny full empty gauge is useful on an automatic watch but a strange choice on a solar watch with a 6 month power reserve.
Love the Nivada - reliable and satisfying sweep of the mechaquartz movement, 60’s inspired design, near perfect proportions for my wrist and a brand that has history and kudos. Head says Seitona but my heart says NG.

This is all true if you’re wearing it as a watch. BUT if you consider it more jewelry that you can accessorize with different straps it’s fantastic!
That is very true. I wore mine on a black rally strap which suited it perfectly.
