[Question] Are there watches with a large moving seconds hand and a chronometer? (alien.top)

I enjoy the life in a watch that's constantly moving. The chronometers I usually see have an hour hand,minute hand, and a micro seconds hand usually on a bicompax set up.

Are there watches where there is a large moving seconds hand, but also a chronometer tracker ?

Citizen E820 movements do this… kind of. In timekeeping mode, the chronograph is disabled and the sweeping seconds stays running like a 3 hander. In chrono mode, the sweeping seconds flips up to 12 and turns with the chronograph.

How would you describe to look for watches with these modes online?
