Its large 38 mm Clamshell case, secured with four screws, was truly exceptional for its time and gives the watch a striking presence on the wrist.
The gray three-register dial combines both classic and sporty design elements: Roman numerals, a yellow tachymeter scale, a red telemeter scale, and elegant feuille hands. Each detail stands out on its own, yet together they form a remarkably harmonious and aesthetic composition. The natural patina adds a charming vintage appeal to the dial.
Inside works the reliable Valjoux 21 hand-wound caliber, which is known for its robustness and quality.
A rare and stylish watch with real heritage - ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of exceptional vintage chronographs.
