Description

A gents 1940s Ardath pilot’s chronograph.

The company was founded in 1935 in Geneva by Edmond Dreyfus. They made watches with movements supplied by major Swiss manufacturers.

This particular watch has a Landeron 39 hand-winding movement which is working nicely.

The watch itself measures 35.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the oval pushers. The case is plated and has a stainless steel case back. There is a little marking but overall the condition is good for a 1940s piece.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in its original finish and there is fading / wear to the detail although the main numbers are still easy to read. Blued steel hands and two subsidiary dials, one for constant seconds and one to record up to 30 minutes.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
