The Chronomaster Sport puts a column wheel El Primero beating at 36,000 vph into a 41mm steel case, so the chronograph times to a tenth of a second, which no Rolex or Omega in this tier offers. It costs well under a steel Daytona at retail and you can walk in and buy one. Reviewers find it wears closer to 39mm or 40mm, and the ceramic bezel scaled in tenths makes it read as its own watch rather than a copy.
A tenth of a second chronograph from the El Primero lineage, buyable today at list or below.

What owners say
WatchUSeek and WatchProSite owners praise the movement, comfort and tri colour subdials, and most say it reads as distinct from the Daytona once on the wrist. The most common complaint is the clasp, followed by thickness (one owner wished it were half a millimetre to a millimetre thinner) and weaker night legibility on the black dial.
