1940s Ervana Chronograph Wrist Watch, Gaston Boef

A gents late 1940s Ervana chronograph wrist watch from the clock, watch and chronometer manufacturer Gaston Boef of Caivaillon, France, registered in 1936.

The chronograph has a hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The chronograph feature is operated by pressing the top button to start the chrono hand moving, and again to stop, and the bottom button is pressed to re-set to zero.

The watch itself measures 37.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is plated with a stainless steel case back and it is in good condition for its age with just a little marking and pitting, mainly to the back.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in its original finish and it has a fantastic appearance. A little freckling but nothing too serious at all. Feuille shaped hands, subsidiary dial at 3 o’clock to record up to 30 minutes, and another at 9 o’clock for constant seconds.

The watch has a later leather strap.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
