路Chronofix - that's a good forum neologism.
"Man, it's been a month since I bought a watch. I'm jonesing for a chronofix!"

路路Mrs Nataf's Other SonD _Dracha_(very) early 1953 ref Breitling 765 AVI with extra 3 digit (military ?) assignment number
Beautiful watch - epitome of a Type 20 configuration. Do you know what military issued it?
Over the years, this 765 AVI designation has remained confusing to me. I must have seen half-a dozen variants designated as 765 AVI, inlcuding that nifty one with the digital minute counter. I'm sure there is some rhyme and reason to the 765 AVIs, but I sure as heck haven't figured it out.

路Aquastar Benthos 500, which has a modified A.Schild movement that allows for a 60 min timer.
Here's a (reinvented) Japy chrono from the 90's. Don't believe they lasted into the 2000's. It uses a Dubois Depraz piggyback chrono:
Seiko 5717 from 1964, their first ever chrono:
