As can be seen in the pictures (and videos available on request), this watch remains in a condition not altered or messed with in its past. At 90 years old, it has almost genuinely earned the title of ‘antique.’ It is remarkable to consider that this watch was made nearly a century ago—and to reflect on the era it witnessed. In the years leading up to the Second World War, and in a region/population directly connected to those events, this watch has endured and survived exceptional times.

The multi-scale, base metal dial with cream-colored printing shows natural aging throughout. Blued steel, open-moon tipped hands complement the dial beautifully. The “Antimagnetic” designation on the dial highlights that this watch was engineered to resist magnetic fields, a particularly notable feature in the 1930s when such interference could significantly affect a mechanical movement’s accuracy more easily.

The chronograph movement is based on the Valjoux Cal. 22 column wheel movement. Its movement has recently undergone a service.
