Chronos: The Missing Hour Counter
Hi, I want to track my work hours, so I got my eye on chronographs. Obviously, it needs to include an hour counter.
Zenith with the El Primero comes to mind; they for sure make nice chronos, especially for small wrists. But to my shock, not only did they ditch the hour counter in favor of a sub second dial on the Chronomaster Original, there doesn't seem to be a single current offering from Zenith that includes one at all!
Also in the more affordable category of chronos that are at least somehow mechanical (Mecaquartz): Not a single one with an hour counter.
Even the Moonswatch (for which the official description states to include the "distinctive Speedmaster subdials") replaced the hour counter with a sub second dial.
So I gave up and put on my old friend Casio F-91W, which never let me down. And after 59:59.99 minutes it turned back to zero 😭.
Just why...
Welcome to my WatchCrunch profile.
The Apple Watch can do it.
The new PRX chrono or any old eta/valjoux 7750 powered chrono.

Yessir!
I would try a Hamilton Khaki field automatic chronograph on Ebay.
The Apple Watch can do it.
Your mum can do it.

Classy.

While the Casio F-91W does not count hours, the TIMEX T80 does!
