This marvellous vintage classic comes with gently curved, bevelled lugs. The charmingly aged dial features applied, gold indexes and Arabic numerals as well as beautiful gold leaf hands. The colours of the two outer scales – a blue tachymeter scale and a red telemeter scale present an exciting contrast to the matured champagne-coloured dial. The watch is fitted with the legendary calibre 30CH, which is considered one of the best and most beautiful chronograph movements ever. It was introduced in 1947 as successor of the fabulous calibre 13ZN, which was the first wrist flyback chronograph dating from 1936.
