Tudor Heritage
uses an ETA base movement with a D. Depraz chrono module piggy back on top. So , it is not an integrated chronograph movement, compared to say the omega speedmaster with the lemania 1861. Reputed to be difficult to service for the D.Depraz module and usually just replaced. AP uses this piggy back arrangement for their ROO range ( but of much higher finish and quality ) . Other brands like Patek , Rolex, Zenith , ALS, VC favours integrated chrono movements.

Chrono advice
I am looking at adding a chrono to my small and fairly new collection and really like the look of the Tudor Heritage Chrono as well as the Tudor Grantour Chrono, but find very little info on the internet about their movements, except a few posts on other ...
I have both,
The Tudor is a favourite of mine, but I think you shld go for the Omega speedy, preferably with the 1861 caliber. Cheers, Horo

ElPrimero
In your place, I'd consider the Zenith El Primero, a handsome watch, from a top class manufacturer, with an in-house movement and as much of a rich heritage as comes with any a chronograph you can buy. All the best with whichever you do pick up in the end...
Not to mention
..it is one of the sexiest watches alive....if you are into a Sean Connery dark and stealth look
The classic 3570.50 is a winner...
...priced well and an icon. I also enjoy my El Primero, though I sought an older one out, one that used the 400 movement (as used in the older Daytonas).
the Speedmaster is an Icon and the one i'd go for.
the El primero is a great movement, but it may be better to get the speedy first, study the different properties and benefits of different movement beat rates then perhaps get the El Primero as your second chrono. we all have different opinions which is w...
I agree 100% with Graham
A Speedmaster Moon is a fantastic looking watch with a dependable movement (not COSC) and wears perfectly. As a second option any El Primero chronograph is also be a great chronograph but, recently, I feel that manual wind watches carry more fun. Cheers
