This stunning Fludo Chronograph from the 1950s is a wonderful example of a beautiful and classic, charmingly aged chronograph with original dial and the classic Landeron calibre. The dial has never been restored and is in marvellous condition. It has a wonderful designed grey outer minutes scale and comes in a well-preserved 36 mm case with a wide, stepped bezel and plenty of presence on the wrist. The chronograph is powered by the famous calibre 51, which is one of a range of chronograph movements made by Landeron between 1937 and 1970. It is a 13.75 ligne movement with a cam switching system. 11 different ligne variants were available as well as complicated versions with date, calendars and moon phase.
The Swiss watch manufacturer Fludo was founded in 1934 by Fluvius Boillat.
