Summary
|
This beautiful vintage chronograph fits right-into the late 1940’s when we believe it was manufactured. During this time, the wristwatch chronograph had gained widespread popularity and Landeron helped make chronographs available to a larger audience with their robust cam-based designs. This watch has a mellow, relaxed design, with its aged neutral colored dial. Matched with its beautiful dark tan brown Hirsch strap and matching Hadley Roma deployant buckle, this watch will have you easing through the day and will put a smile on your face every time you use the chronograph or check the time. The watch 'wears larger,' meaning it feels like a more substantial watch on the wrist than the size may indicate, because these chronograph movements are thick and the case itself is also thicker.
