Description

A rare and charismatic wristwatch, this mid-sized model has a wonderfully aged, two-tone gilded dial with fine Roman and baton hour indexes. There are slim blued steel hands with a handsomely counter-poised subsidiary seconds which has a prominent roundel to its tail. Cased in steel and designed as a water-resistant model, the watch has a screw-down back and large crown. The bezel is twin stepped and each step has a chamfered finish while the lugs have a pronounced downward curve with broad, tapering chamfers.

Beneath the 6 o’clock position, the dial is marked: ‘Importé de Suisse’, this indicates that the watch was supplied specifically to the French market as Customs in France required imported watches to clearly state the country of manufacture in the French language.
