Thin Chronographs

[proby24]

I have to admit a fondness for thin mechanical watches and chronographs as a complication.

What thin Chronos are out there? I am looking for mechanical rather than quartz, automatic or hand-wind (to reduce thickness).

A big bonus for a rotatable bezel as well.

I currently have my Daytona (12.2mm) on my wrist. An absolute classic but what out there is thinner?

You didn't say what your budget is but if money was no object I'd be all over this

VC Harmony Chronographe Grande Complication Ultra Plat. Only 10 made and pricing is 'if you have to ask.....'

The Zenith El Primero 38000s are quite thin. I thought the 38mm tri-colour was going to be my next watch but I found it a little too small and the 42mm a little too large. I think that the thickness is similar to a Daytona, possibly a tad less. There are of course lots of El Primeros with the same relatively thin movement.

+1 for the Zenith

I believe the F Piguet 1185 is also a very thin movement, seen in the Blancpain Leman amongst others

Here's an idea of the thickness of a 42mm.

The 42mm Zenith El Primero Classic is pretty slim and definitely elegant.

The Blancpain chronographs are often quite thin.

this is mine, 10.5mm thick and as far as I'm concerned gorgeous.

Nice watch, but not a chronograph... It is a calendar watch from Jaeger LeCoultre.

Definitely Blancpain...the 34mm version is even thinner..

This at 10.9mm is rather nice.

Zenith El Primero Class Sport hand wind is about 10mm thick.
