Description

A gents 1940s Accurist chronograph, Valjoux 22.

The watch has a Valjoux 22 hand-winding movement which is working nicely.

The Valjoux 22 was produced from 1914 to 1974. It was used by many of the world's famous watch makers including Rolex, Vacheron Constantin and Breguet.

The watch measures 35mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the pushers. The case is chrome plated and it is in good condition for a 1940s piece with just general surface marks, nothing too detrimental at all. The case back is stainless steel.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in its original finish. There is a little marking and also some fading to the numbers on the dial perimeter. Two subsidiary dials, one for constant seconds and the other records up to 30 minutes.

A later black leather strap with white contrasting stitching has been fitted.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box. UK shipping only on this item.

Price includes UK postage.
