This marvellously preserved chronograph impresses with its beautifully satin-finished, bright silver-plated dial. The case has facetted and gently down-turned lugs and flat rectangular chronograph pushers in a typical 1960s style. The chronograph is powered by the famous calibre 248, 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. The movement bears the signature of Heuer-Leonidas S.A..
