This elegant Eberhard chronograph from the 1950s impresses with a rare three-register dial and is powered by the legendary Valjoux 72 movement.
Vintage chronographs by Eberhard & Co. enjoy an excellent reputation among collectors – prized for their classic design, historical significance, and strong ties to motorsport. Especially the models from the 1950s represent a pivotal era in the brand's history.
The example presented here features a screw-down stainless steel case with a generous diameter of 38 mm – an exceptional size for watches of its time. The silver-toned dial delights with golden Dauphine hands, applied gold indices and applied Eberhard logo. A fine minute track and a subtly integrated blue tachymeter scale along the outer edge add both visual and functional refinement.
Particularly charming is the dial's harmonious layout, which immediately captivates with its warm vintage character. The outstanding overall condition and rarity of this piece make it a highly desirable collector's item – a true highlight for enthusiasts of classic Swiss watchmaking.
