Small / Compact chronos
Having a slenderwrist is not an easy feat on a daily basis. And while I managed to find fitting timepieces for my chicken arm, there is one type of watch that has yet eluded me: the chronographs. I LOVE the looks of the Speedy / Daytona etc, but its always a bummer knowing that it wont fit me.
Has any of you guys managed to find a small compact chrono (quartz or not) ? Thinking 37 case size x44 lug to lug x11 thickness ?
Cheers !

Have you tried the Seiko SSC813P1? It's 39mm with a 45.5mm L2L. It wears pretty compact and looks perfect on my small 6.5" wrist.
The speedy reduced (39mm, 44.5mm L2L) could also be a good fit, if you have the budget and don't mind secondhand. Or you could wait a few years for Omega to get their head out of their bum, realize the community wants smaller watches and re-introduce it to the line-up at long last...
I guess the seagull 1963?!… I wear it fine and I have a 15 cm wrist!

That a manual handwind thats basically too expensive to service right ? Are these movement reliable ?

I was contemplating the Speedy Reduced, but doesnt the 12mm thickness make it sit high on the wrist with the compact dimensions of the case ? But thay might be a good idea.
I never checked the Solar Seikos though, that looks good ! Ill try some when visiting an AD
Timex MK1 chronograph with aluminum case. Small, compact, lightweight.
#studiounderd0g smaller and colorful well made and fairly priced.
Omega Speedmaster Automatic in 38mm (also called Reduced->but this name is ridiculous) 😆
