I would
recommend as follows;
-Tudor BB Chrono - because it is beautiful, robust, water resistant, supermodern chronograph movement. Downside --> thick and chunky.
-Tudor Chrono Heritage - stunningly beautiful but mostly in summertime i would say. Also a bit chunky.
-Tudor GMT - three snowflake hands on a watch, that is just too much. A bit chunky too. As most Tudor BB's are.
Which watch should I get?
I am in abit of a dilemma now. Have always wanted to add a chronograph to my collection as it is something which I sorely lacks. I have done some research and have shortlisted the Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue and the BB Chrono. Reasons for choosing them are...
BB Chrono for me too
It’s a much more interesting (and modern) movement. Long power reserve, column wheel, vertical clutch, supposedly designed by the engineers that also helped make Rolex’s Daytona calibre (albeit for Breitling). The black dial w/ steel case is a very safe c...
One more thought
Also, it was designed with a focus on repairability, so it has some features that I think contributed to Tudor’s decision to use it; auto-centering of chrono parts, partially modular design, etc.
I am leaning towards one of these two as the BB Chrono date window and small sub registers somehow don't speak to me. The THC speaks to me more strongly now
I have tried the BB Chrono at least 5 times since its launch. But something always hold me back from pulling the trigger.
Heritage Chrono Blue
I just feel the other two remind me of other watches. The heritage chrono is a faithful representation not trying to be anything else. Bill
Yes, this!!
Followed by the GMT. For some reason I was never turned on by the bb chrono. It always seemed to be trying to hard if that makes sense. So many things going on at once

Hello Aaron! If your main concern is to enter a chrono in your collection, I personally feel the Heriitage model is the one to go after.
... The GMT is a superb watch and beautiful design, interesting complication... but not a chrono. BUT... main thing in your purchase decision is which of these three beautiful watches is the one YOU like better! You can´t go wrong with any of them, but as...
Yes I very much prefer to add a chrono as it is something which I miss having in my collection.
Will definitely follow my heart for this purchase and try not to let the technical aspect sway my decision. Ultimately I must be happy to wear and look at the watch daily instead of just telling myself the movement is superior. Somemore the movement can't...
I don't really need a chronograph to use its function. But then I also don't need a GMT as I don't travel much either.
Wanting a chronograph is mainly for its look.
sorry but...
they are all to big for you're wrist, you need a 38mm or under chrono imho
I think is the visual effect of the pics. I have tried all three and they are the max I can go but I personally don't feel they are over-sized.
The THC doesn't looks or feels much bigger than my Sub.
I made my decision and here it is
After a few weeks of considering, comparing and going to the boutiques to see the watches again. I have made my decision and here is the latest addition to the family. I am a happy man now. ...
I was only seriously considering between the Black Bay Chrono and the Heritage Chrono Blue
Both didn’t have a wait list. The BB GMT is nice but ultimately I didn’t went for that as what I wanted to add is a chronograph.
