Many fashion watches offer diamonds and gold. Some of the models, on the market today are so glitzed out, you barely recognize them as timekeepers, but chronographs are a whole different breed. Chronographs strut their stuff, with the use of their functions, not their features. Let's get to know a bit more about chronographs, shall we?
A chronograph is a watch, which includes a stop watch function. Wow, that is a really simplistic explanation for a complex piece of machinery, but that is the short version, none the less.
The truth is that a chronograph can come with a multitude of timing functions and capabilities. Of course, they are used to time the start and finish of certain events, such as sporting events. Omega, one famous chronograph maker is the Official Timekeeper for the U.S. Olympic Games, because of their precision accuracy, but the functionality of a chronograph goes far beyond the 400 meter.
There are chronographs, which are used in auto racing. These chrono's will generally feature a tachymeter, which is a specialized scale for measuring. The tachymeter's main function is to measure laps, which is perfect for Formula One racing.
Other chronographs are built for deep sea diving, and equipped with additional scales and subdials to help perform under water, and under pressure.
At the end of the day, there are as many different types of chronographs, as there are different things, in which to time and measure. They are fun to own and perform with amazing precision.
