The Best Men's Chronograph Watch for under 2000 dollars
Baume & Mercier
Capeland
Model: 10082
Case: 43mm Stainless steel
Band: Alligator
Movement: Automatic
Functions: HH, MM, SS, Date, Chronograph
Battery: N/A
Water resistance: 50M/167ft
Buame and Mercier has made its way onto my lists before. They make really nice watches. It's really hard to ignore them. The Capeland is another busy watch, but very high quality.The 43mm stainless steel case is where it starts. It is covered by sapphire lens on both the front and back of the watch. It has a crown at the 3 o'clock position and the chronograph function buttons at the 2 & 4 o'clock positions. The silver faced Capeland has a tachymeter and telemeter outer ring, with Arabic numerals for the hour marks as an inner ring. The chronograph sub dials are at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions. The watch also has a date window at the 4:30 position. The hands are polished silver, with indiglo imbued within them. The alligator leather strap has a buckle style clasp with contrasting white stitching.
The Buame & Mercier movement is a Valjoux 7750. The movement sports 27 jewels, and runs at 28,800 vph. The 7750 line of movements is one of the most popular mechanical chronograph movements you will find. It is reliable and very common. Meaning the Capeland should work well for a long time, but if you have a problem with it, most watch repair folks should be familiar with it.
I have found the Capeland for around 1600 dollars. Amazon has it for a hair under, at about 1,555, and I think it looks like a whole lot of watch for that price point.

The Best Men's Mechanical Hand Wind Watch for Under 8,000 Dollars
Breitling
Navitimer Cosmonaute
Model: AB0210B4.C917.447A
Case: 43mm, Stainless steel/Red Gold
Band: Leather
Movement: breitling 02 Hand wound
Functions: HH, MM, SS, Date, Chronograph
Water resistance: 30M/100ft
Breitling has made a few appearances on my lists so far. This watch has made two appearances now. Here for the chronograph catagory, and also on the hand wind watches list. Breitling makes nice watches that look very very busy. Some people may be put off by the abundance of information on their faces. Personally, I like the looks. They look like a tool to me, and often they are a tool.
The Navitimer is a bigger watch, at 43mm. It is constructed of stainless steel and red gold. It has a crown at 3 o'clock and the chronograph buttons at the 2 & 4 o'clock positions. The dial face is blue and it has sub dials at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions. The watch also comes with a stainless steel band, with a folding style clasp.
The Navitimer movement is a Breitling 02. It has 39 jewels and a power reserve of 70 hours. The movement is made in house, and is a quality movement.
I can find the Navitimer for around 7000 dollars all over the web. Amazon has a few different versions of this watch, for a little more or a little less. All versions are basically the same though.

The Best Men's Chronograph Watch for Under 10,000
Cartier
Ballon Bleu de Cartier Chronograph
Model: W6920052
Case: 44mm, Stainless steel
Band: Leather
Movement: Self Wind, Cartier 8101
Functions:HH, MM, SS, Chronograph, Date
Water resistance: 30M/100ft
It took me a little while to warm up to Cartier watches, I was convinced they were over priced fashion watches filled up with cheap Chinese movements and other less than high end materials.
I was completely wrong. After spending some time studying their products, and their history, I learned that they have considerable research and development in their own movements and designs.
This watch made it on the 5 best men's watches for under 10,000 dollars. It is a seriously cool watch, with lots of nice features.
The Cartier has a 44mm stainless steel face, with a guarded crown at the 3 o'clock position, and chronograph buttons at the 2 &4 o'clock position. The black face is stylish with chronograph sub dials at the 3 & 6 o'clock positions. It also has a black leather band with a buckle style clasp.
The Cartier 8101 movement is made by JLC. But that does not deter me. I think this watch is well worth the position on this list. It is a really nice and stylish watch. And I have found it for around 8500 dollars. I like this watch at that price. Especially if you are looking for a watch that offers you the tools of a chronograph, but steps away from the standard chronograph looks.
Generally, you can find this watch for around 8,500 dollars. It is a really nice watch at that price point. I was definitely converted from a Cartier dis-liker to a Cartier liker when I started researching this watch.
Wrap Up
These chronograph watches are definitely high end men's watches. They offer some of the best features available on watches today. They are made by some of the best and most respectable watch makers in the world. They are going to offer you a product that should, with very little work, last a lifetime, and beyond in many cases.
The best men's watches under blog hopes you have enjoyed this post. I enjoyed writing it.
