A fan favourite, the 6138-8020 has a timeless dial that one can only grow to love more. The sloping tachymeter chapter ring guides the eye down into the printed minute markers. These guys are getting harder and harder to find in good condition, and word has it that the WWF might even change their logo to that of the Seiko Panda instead. 

The 701X line of flyback chronographs come in all colours and designs. This one has a military vibe, that's really out of character for the jazzy and retro line of 70s chronographs. 

For collectors who like a Weekdater dial but dislike the fact that the 6206s lack a visible crown, this Lord Matic is the choice for you. The 7020 series of LMs really bring a different look to the wrist; while the others go for a more conventional dress watch appeal of day-date at 3, this one adds the day function to the 6. 

Away from the Crickets and Memovoxes, there is a family of mechanical alarm watches that present very good value for money while retaining a loud and crisp quality in make. The early manual wound Citizen models are a class act with their impeccable dress appeal and modern sizes.

As far as Seiko chronographs go, the 6138s have the bulk of the attention, both figuratively and literally. The larger dials and case sizes of the 6138s, while attention grabbing, lack the compact detailing that is present in their smaller compatriots like this guy here. This little guy here is presented in a the more uncommon case shape - slightly higher and more tonneau than the conventional Mini Jumbos.
