Which chronograph movement?
I am not sure I am in the right section to ask my question.
I would like to know, if it could be judged, which one contemporary chrono movement is the top one. Could it be Breitling cal. 01 used in Transocean LE, an AP cal. in RO/ROO, 4130 in Daytona, an Omega cal., etc.? Your personal experience and refereces are welcome.
Thanks for reading and point of views.

What means top for you?
Which kind of quality are you looking for? There is more than one answer Oliver
Quartz
Oh, yes, if I need deadly accuracy watch without the need to be set for years, a quartz will be the choice. But ... I am an old mechanical goat. I want to get a mechanical watch with a chrono complication. It should be accurate and reliable as my GMT Mast...
If you're not looking for a high-end chrono...
...I just love my Breitling Navitimer. I've had it for over eight years and it has taken a lot of abuse. I've worn this watch while working on my cars, doing construction on my house, etc. without ever worrying about it. It still looks and runs like new. ...
Well, I'd say Lange Double Split, JLC Duometre, and PP 5959.
These are the top 3 Chronos, in my book. Since you didn't mention automatic or manual.... Best, Nicolas.
I agree with others...
It all depends on what you mean by best doesn't it? There are many interesting calibres out there, but in more everyday luxury watches there are 5 automatic chronograph movements that come to mind: 1) Frederique Piguet Calibre 1185 which you will find in ...
It is an interesting topic but please define your expectations.
Automatic, handwind, large production or not, additional complixations, frequency etc... what do you mean by top? It is funny: every time there is this kind of question, the people forget the Automatic Chronograph Movement from Piaget which is one of the ...
thanks for the pointer--should look into this....
but I bet their rightfully regarded achievements in ultra-thin movements casts a shadow on their other accomplishments..... J
For me, there's no question THE ONE
is the Lange chronograph movement - with date for the Datograph or no date for the 1815. Ok so that's two movements technically. The winding action, the pusher feel, the jumping minute hand, the flyback precision - chrono heaven on earth.
