·I like a clean look and a readable chronograph myself.
This:
Is a lot more readable than This:
But I like'm both. 😀
Once upon a time, readability was far more important than it is today.
Today we have our smartphones for readability and when we are in a land, sea or air transport vehicle, we have our GPS or other electronic navigation instruments to tell us the time more accurately.
Aren't our chronograph watches mostly just jewelry for men! 😀
[No laws prohibiting women from wearing them either.]

·Still coming up the learning curve on vintage watches. I realize these are chronographs, just curious if there is a specific name for this style of watch? No bezel, thinner hands, long second hand, multiple scales...
thanks
There were higher grade ones (like that UN I believe), and some done in solid gold cases (I have my fathers 1950’s B&M 18k Telemetre).
They usually suffer from moisture damaged dials but can be found fairly clean and at bargain prices if you are patient.
one of my personal favorites:

·Sure, it's a Calatrava-style chronograph.
