·I am a watch-nut who also modifies cars and races them.
So it makes sense that I'm into these racing chronographs. Lately, I've been searching for ones with 'exotic' dials.
By 'exotic' I mean a dial with a chequered flag pattern or similar.
I've found these and I'm interested to see what else is out there.
So, if you have or know more, please share your knowledge.
OMEGA
Seamaster
Reference:145.006 and 145.016 from the late 1960s.
I've borrowed the photo from this reference's research topic.
This is a scarce model. And it costs a small fortune.
Speedmaster
Of course, that is probably the most famous one.
Good reference at Fratello Mag:

105/145.012
145.022 and 3570.40
Mark II 145.014
Chronostop 146.009
DUVAL
Not sure about the reference, but it has Valjoux 7733 movement. Probably ca 36-37mm diameter.
NIVADA and GLYCINE
37mm
Don't know the reference. Different type of case suggests the early 1970s and Valjoux 7736 movement.
GIGANDET
Design suggests 1960s.
LIP
Ninja Ref. 42687
36mm
1970
Valjoux 7733
Chrome plated
Perhaps I've forgot some, but if anyone knows more, please share!
Thanks!
