This marvelous, tonneau-shaped chronograph has two round pushers and a slightly concealed crown on the left for setting the inside bezel. The overall condition of the case is excellent with edges that are still crispy. The watch is fitted with a mechanical manual wind calibre; the black dial features light-coloured subsidiary dials and red accents. The caseback is engraved with several patent numbers of the chronograph as well as with the year of its making 68-10.
