More "iconic" chronograph: Speedmaster or El Primero .... or?
Simple poll: when you think of the most "iconic" chronograph, which comes to mind, the Omega Speedmaster or the Zenith El Primero?
 EDIT: Feel free to add another option, I forgot to do so in the poll options!

Most will say Daytona, but for me, it is an IWC Portuguese...

Most would say Daytona, some would say Speedy, hell one would even say IWC Portuguese.
I'd say Valjoux 72(2) series, wherever fitted.

Movement wise it has to be the El Primero, but in all other aspects it is the moon watch. Come on! Its a moon...watch.

I love the IWC Portuguese Chrono, but most "iconic," it would have to be the Omega Speedmaster. I would have put the Breitling Navitimer in the poll as well.
