Chronographs Under 500 Euros: What Matters in a True Sports Chronograph
In the price range up to 500 euros, you’re right to expect a chronograph with no compromises: a robust case, a reliable movement, and a dial that stays uncluttered despite the stopwatch function, sub-dials, and date display. Nevertheless, models in this class vary greatly—sometimes the bezel is an issue, sometimes the crystal, and sometimes the water resistance.
MIYEN MUNICH takes a different approach: We deliver the full chronograph package that should be standard in this price range—only significantly more affordable than classic brands. Three-year warranty, free shipping, and a 30-day money-back guarantee included.
Solid 316L stainless steel—inside and out
Not all stainless steel is created equal. While simpler models rely on inexpensive alloys or hollow-pressed bracelets, at MIYEN MUNICH we craft both the case and the bracelet from solid 316L surgical-grade stainless steel. This steel is skin-friendly, corrosion-resistant, and is also used by high-end Swiss manufacturers. You’ll feel the difference the moment you put it on—in the weight, the feel, and the premium look.
Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal across the entire collection
Even in the €500 price range, manufacturers still rely on hardened mineral glass. Solid, but not comparable to real sapphire crystal. Sapphire crystal achieves a hardness rating of 9 on the Mohs scale. At MIYEN MUNICH, sapphire crystal is used in every model. This ensures that your dial—with all its details, including sub-dials, tachymeter, and 24-hour display—remains clearly legible even after years of intensive use.
High-quality quartz movement—the ideal choice for a chronograph
Quartz movements operate with extreme accuracy—deviating by only a few seconds per month. They are resistant to shocks and vibrations, ready for use immediately—even after prolonged inactivity—and require minimal maintenance over many years. These are precisely the qualities that make a sporty chronograph a reliable companion for everyday life.
That is why our VOYAGER features a precise quartz movement that controls the stopwatch function with precision and keeps the time spot on—perfectly matching the functional character of this watch.
VOYAGER: Tachymeter, 24-hour display, and 100 m water resistance

Plus, 100 m water resistance for worry-free use in everyday life, during sports, or on vacation. And all this starts at just 249 euros.
