This timepiece is an extremely attractive example of a typical 1950 style, subtly elegant sports chronograph. The pink gold elements (Alpha hands, applied arrow indexes and Arabic numerals) form a lively contrast to the champagne-coloured dial and the cool steel case. The slightly downward sloping lugs and the two round chronograph pushers make the case look larger overall and more present on the wrist. It is fitted with the legendary ratchet wheel chronograph calibre Lemania 1281. The combination of the 1950s aesthetic and reliable chronograph movement makes this a great collector's watch.
