The charismatic Olimpico Chronograph was introduced for the 1968 Mexico City Summer Olympics.
All parts on this timepiece are original. The 39 mm steelcase with sharp lines and well-defined lugs, has never been polished before. The overwhelming beautiful fume-colored dial has some minor, age-appropriate patina but is in a well-preserved original condition with some small attractive sprinkles.
