Super!
I can imagine carrying a vintage doctors bag, wearing a bowtie, coat and bowler hat. And this will complete the look.
Other watches good for the vintage MD look are
1) Rolex Cellini Prince (the rectangular doctors watch)
2) A deadbeat seconds watch
3) A flyback chrono from Lange

I feel the pulsometers today are not well thought about. An MD will likely see action, blood, dirt, etc. A rubber strap, high MRI magnetism resistance, and a scratch-proof case is needed. And stealth is needed too away from the prying eyes of colleagues and patients. Hospitals are very political places. Omega has the recipe for making it, but they are just not doing so, yet. As if doctors use these things, but who knows perhaps so, if there is no electricity, these things can be vital.

I'm not sure how useful a pulsometer is, but it's cooler than the more common tachymeter.
I can't imagine palpating a pulse and pressing a chrono pusher without taking the watch off and holding it like a stopwatch.
Good question
One can use his left hand (if the watch is on the left), the palpate the pulse, and the right hand will be free to operate the pushers.
Yes!
I vaguely remember thinking through this in the past and coming up with the same approach. I suppose it becomes second nature to those who actually use one in practice.
Actually there could be a better innovation
A deadbeat zero-reset monopusher. Ok, in these days, they rely on electronic devices to take the pulse. But if one has to go analog, yes any quartz watch will do. To go fancy and real fit-for-purpose in an analog way, would be a zero-reset button where th...
Any chronograph also provides a second hand that starts at zero.
Although it's fun to think about these, I think the best solution is simply a watch with center seconds and precise hour (5 second) markers rather than numerals without any tick marks. It's easy to wait for a 5 sec period and count for 15 sec.
The 1815 chrono certainly!
I am an MD and my father (also an MD) gifted me with a 1815 chrono boutique edition to celebrate graduating medical school. Such a meaningful and beautiful watch.
=D great gift!
I have a few friends in this field who have been drawn to Lange. A cardiologist from America with a lange pulsometer, and a anaesthesiogist from Singapore with a Richard Lange. But they never wore it to work for fear of damaging/losing it during critical ...
Counting for 15 secs and multiplying by 4 is the typical way to assess heart rate and respiratory rate.
That is why everyone's respiratory rate is charted as a multiple of 4 - 12, 16, 20, 24 etc.
That is one of my Grails!
One day I'll gift myself. Also, one day it will be one of my son's.
It is one of the nicest museum series. Yellow gold case with brushed flank, very nice.
38 mm case size is perfect too. Too bad the price is out of my league.
Hello Biw! Congrats on your beautiful "MD Watch", Number 10 chronograph from the "Omega Museum Collection". Its looks exudes vintage vibes and I love it for that, specially the use of Breguet numerals and...
... hand set. Overall a very elegant and classic presence on the wrist. Its movement 3203 has been subject to some critics among aficionados (it´s the same movement used for the Speedmaster 1957/2007 50 Years Commemorative model) but I personally had no p...
