The Breitling Sprint was considered the budget chronograph of its day.  Functionality wise, though, with its inner tachymeter track and rotating dual-use bezel that could accrue hours in lieu of the third register or show a different time zone, the Sprint was pretty impressive.

The Sprint possesses a rather beefy case with almost modern dimensions of a 40mm case, lug-to-lug distance of 48mm, wearing a 19mm strap. Plus, the thickness of this chrono comes to a relatively slender 12.5mm and that makes it extremely wearable.  The Breitling Sprint is a beautiful vintage chronograph with modern appeal.
