With all due respect to anyone that has combined a striking function with a chronograph, there is no better, more functionally innovative and more impressive watch in this category than the Omega Speedmaster Chrono Chime. Why? Because its striking function plays out the elapsed time, which is exactly the most important information on a chronograph. I’ve always looked at chronographs as stopwatches that also have to show you civil time. However, their true raison d’être is to measure the elapsed time of an event.
Why do I love the Chrono Chime so much, and why do I think it is very possibly the most overlooked and greatest achievement
