Description
This rare Vetta chronograph from the late 1940s features a large 38 mm clamshell case and a rare black galvanic dial.

The robust clamshell case, developed in 1937, is a milestone in watchmaking history. Secured with four screws at the lugs, it offered exceptional water resistance for its time. The flat bezel adds to the watch's clean and elegant aesthetic.

The standout feature of this watch is its rare black galvanic dial. The orange telemeter scale and yellow tachymeter scale not only provide striking visual highlights but also emphasize the functional character of this chronograph. The harmonious combination of colors and patina gives the dial a unique charm and appeal.

Inside the case, the watch is powered by a robust Valjoux manual winding movement, renowned for its precision and reliability. This caliber was one of the most advanced movements of its era.
