·Hey forum, I've realized that the most useful watch for me is a fairly rare combination: one that has both a chronograph function and a countdown bezel.
My beloved Bulova 666 for example:
At work (video producer), I find a countdown bezel is something I actually use. A count up bezel, not so much, as I don't find myself diving very often. Or ever. But, the countdown bezel lets me know when to circle back to my crew to hand off memory cards, or allows me to put a time limit on finishing up a scene that we're filming. And if I do need to count up or time a second thing simultaneously, then I can use the chronograph.
It's fun to have my watch do something at work other than just look pretty. So, my question is: what other makes and models combine these two functions?
I know that Sinn has a few options:
A few Breitling models also fit the bill:
And I suppose an Autavia or Tudor Heritage Chronograph could do the trick, although they don't have a true countdown bezel (if there were any Autavias with a countdown bezel, I think that would be just about the perfect watch for me, as I find the proportions and layout really gorgeous):
Anyone know other watches that combine these two functions?
