Bulova Precisionist 1/1000th sec. Chrono
Its P123 movement has 16 jewels, rivaling handwind mechanicals. One of the interesting phenomena with its P123 movement is the seconds hand going to zero when the crown is pulled out to set the date and time. Eliminates the need to wait until the hand hits the 12 to pull out the crown to the third position. Only thing I'd change thus far is increasing the battery in these from a CR2016 to a CR2032. Like any other quartz chrono, using the stopwatch much will shorten battery life.
Photo note: Don't do high key much - may do this one over again with low key.

Great looking chrono, John! If the one I had was this style I would have kept it. I love the auto-zero when you pull the crown. My Eco-Drive does it, and my two Festina's with the Miyota OS80 also do. However, I'm lost about the high key low key comment. .gif)
