Although they aren’t as popular as divers, chronographs are still an essential part of any respectable watch collection.
From their historical applications in timing everything from motorsports races to engine burns on disastrous moon missions to more mundane practical uses such as clocking your kid’s nap or boiling an egg, chronographs are perhaps the ultimate tool watch.
This year has seen an incredible number of new chronographs across the watch industry, from new iterations of icons like the Omega Speedmaster to a returning legend from Universal Genève to a wild reinvention of the complication from Parmigiani, 2026 has been loaded with quality wrist-worn chronographs.
These are our favorite chronographs we’ve covered so far in 2026.
