This marvellously preserved chronograph impresses with its beautifully satin-finished, bright silver-plated dial with blue tachymeter scale, 30 min. and 12h counter, analog date at 6 and two windows for weekday and month display in French. The case has gently down-turned lugs and flat rectangular chronograph pushers in a typical 1960s style. The chronograph is powered by the famous calibre Landeron 159, 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 special feature of this watch is the adjustment of the date display, which is done via the bezel.
