Specialist note
This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.
This highly attractive and eminently wearable vintage chronograph with two-tone multi-scale layout of the dial and the unusual straight lugs and flat band of the case give a very clean line to the watch allowing the dial to be its most prominent feature. The aesthetic impact is matched by the honesty of its condition.
The 14K gold case indicates that it was intended originally for the American market. The movement was supplied by either Enicar, Packard or Delbana which is confirmed by the import code engraved on the balance bridge “LOE” which was the American import code used for those three companies.
