I am looking at the following 3 watches.

Any reason why I should or should not get one of them? I know styling is subjective. I refer to the quality and/or brand.

Zenith EL PRIMERO STRATOS FLYBACK TRIBUTE TO FELIX BAUMGARTNER
Zenith El Primero Stratos Flyback Tribute to Felix Baumgartner - Steel

Ulysee Nardin Marine Diver
263-10LE-7M/953-BQ - Marine Diver - Marine - Welcome to the Ulysse Nardin collection - Ulysse Nardin - Le Locle - Suisse - Swiss Mechanical Watch Manufacturer

IWC Aquatimer Chronograph
IWC Aquatimer Chronograph IW3768

All great watches, I have a Nardin an IWC, and Zenith is on my short list of watches I'd buy. I'm not a huge fan of diver chronographs as I think that function is somewhat contradictory to the type of watch. Also, the IWC isn't a manufacture movement, so if that means something to you I'd rule that model out.

What would you have rather have, a chronograph or a power reserve?

Get the Zenith Stratos that was released before the special Felix edition. It features a transparent case back instead of the mug shot. You'll be able to see the blue silicone gear that drives the central second hand at its incredible speed.

The IWC and Ulysse Nardin are nice, but not remarkable. Of course if you're looking for a genuine dive watch they may be a better choice.

First, welcome to the forum. In my opinion with these kind of watches the quality is always good. So just buy the one you like,.... To me these three are completely different from each other, but I would prefer the IWC. Just because of the looks as the others are just too busy for me.

Oh and a topic like this without pics,.... hmmmmmm. :)
