Timex · Marlin Chatham Automatic

Strengths

An appealing reason to choose affordable mechanics for their design: the case and dial are the attraction.

Things to consider

Mineral glass; the compact 36 mm size will not suit everyone. Price is for the US market.

Breguet · Tradition Seconde Rétrograde 7097

Strengths

A compelling option for visible-mechanics enthusiasts: balance and wheels shape the composition, while retrograde seconds animate it.

Things to consider

Check the small time dial for legibility during a fitting. A 3-bar rating and leather strap require care around water.
