An attractive wrist chronograph for the French market, with gently curved lugs, catching the eye right away with its charmingly aged dial and the blue, central chronograph hand; the watch also boasts an impressive, masculine 37 mm case size.
Inside beats the legendary chronograph calibre Valjoux 72, which was slightly smaller and used for many years in models such as the Rolex Daytona.
