Chase Hattan Watches has dated this piece to the 1940s.

The highlight lies in its manual wind movement — beautifully intricate and running with superb accuracy at just +10 seconds per day after servicing, with healthy amplitude. Movement serial number begins 454XXX.

A new black Vacheron & Constantin leather strap completes the watch, with a snap caseback adding to its refined slimness. While the crown is thought to be a replacement, the overall originality and quality of this timepiece make it an outstanding collector’s piece.
