Who should buy which.

The Supersport Chrono Gold PVD: A buyer who wants a large, eye-catching Swiss chronograph for weekends and nights out. Choose a steel chronograph like the PRC 200 or PR 100 for a more neutral look, or a smaller watch if 45.5 mm is too large.

The Supersport Chrono Basketball Edition: A buyer who wants a large Swiss chronograph with a sporty, dark look and a leather strap. Choose a steel-bracelet chronograph if you want a more versatile everyday watch, or a smaller case if 45.5 mm is too large.

Before you order.

It is 45.5 mm wide and long and 11.92 mm thick, so it is a big watch, and PVD coatings can wear over years of use. It runs on a battery.

At 45.5 mm wide and long it is a large watch, and a leather strap is not the right choice for the pool. It runs on a battery.
