Nezumi Tonnerre (Cream Version)

Inspired by legendary pieces like the Heuer Skipper and Abercrombie & Fitch Seafarer, the Nezumi Tonnerre is arguably the best-looking affordable chronograph on the market. Unlike most other chronograph offerings, it’s also not huge, at a very palatable 38mm.

Its vintage vibes are complimented by the excellent case construction and brushing, alongside the domed crystal and highly functional Seiko mecha-quartz movement. They made numerous changes from their previous model, which I praised in my review of this piece.

The only point of contention that I found was the strap, which was a little long for my tiny wrist, despite being decent quality. For the most part, the Tonnerre is a great all-rounder.
