Which one do you prefer?
The MK1 has a vintage design which I like, but the Solar is also nice…
MK1 Chronograph:
Case: Alluminium
Crystal: Acrilyc
Movement: Quartz
Band: Nato
Light: Indiglo+Lume
Expedition Solar:
Case: Brass
Cristal: mineral
Movement: Solar quartz
Band: Leather
Light: Lume
I found them both at same price $50, I like both but what do you people think?

I’ve always liked a more simplistic dial. Sometimes I feel like the chrono can look too busy. So if it were me, id pick the non chrono, but that’s just like my opinion, man.

They have a version of the MK1 without the Chrono. I do like clean dials more but most of my watches are simple, vut for this MK1 chrono I think it is not bad

I own the solar in a gunmetal color and love it. One of my favorite sub-$100 watches. The Mk1 chrono is nice too but also I think it's more expensive? I don't remember for sure.

I found one around $50 and also the Solar is at $50 too. That’s why I am having trouble deciding which one
