An anonymous Swiss chronograph from the 1940s, with a 34 mm case and a technical dial that clearly recalls its military use during that period. The silvered bicompax dial features a double scale: a black tachymeter and a red telemeter, both highly prized by collectors. The Arabic numerals and uniform patina add charm and authenticity to a timepiece that has stood the test of time while retaining its character intact. Inside, it is powered by the Landeron 187 movement, a reliable and robust 17-jewel manual chronograph, part of the famous Landeron caliber family that made chronographs accessible to a wider audience in the 1940s and 1950s.
