This absolutely fascinating Marvin vintage chronograph impresses with an exceptionally complex dial that has developed a beautiful tropical patina over the decades.
A standout feature is the generously sized 39 mm case – a true rarity for its time, which still lends the watch an impressive wrist presence today. The stainless-steel case is wonderfully preserved and conveys a powerful, authentic character.
The multi-colored dial combines black and tropically aged brown segments in the center and at the outer edge. Gilt hands and gilt print add elegant accents and create a striking contrast – simply a wow effect!
Inside ticks the hand-wound Valjoux 22, a legendary chronograph movement that runs perfectly.
All in all, this stylish Marvin chronograph is a true collector’s piece – rare, full of character and brimming with vintage charm.
