I'm a fan of aquatic themed chronos, especially if they have triple registers and interesting bezels.
Jenny was a pioneer in triple safe case technology at the time. It licenced its cases to a number of manufacturers at the time and if you see "Carribean" on the dial its one of theirs as it was a term of the licence to have this word on the dial. These were a few months ago still relatively affordable but now seem to be selling in the 2k mark.

A V726 powered Carribean by Mexican jewellers HASTE De Luxe. I just love the bezels on these watches

And its brother (or sister) which is currently at the watch maker Jenny Caribbean 200 REF 2003. This watch has an interesting history which I will save for another time.

Not my picture or watch but it is the only one I have ever seen in the wild.
