Gents Dionis Chronograph from Rousselon Freres

Gents Dionis chronograph from Rousselon Freres & Cie.

The watch has a Landeron hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Phigied Extra which tells us that this is a replacement later movement... probably to replace a movement that was beyond economical repair, such as water damage. The Dionis would have had a Landeron movement originally so it is correct, just a different signature.

The watch measures 37mm diameter excluding the winding crown, buttons and lugs. The case is plated and it is in good condition with just light surface marks, nothing serious at all. The case back is stainless steel.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in good original condition with original hands. There are two subsidiary dials, one for constant seconds and the other to record up to 30 minutes. The chronograph feature is operated by pressing the top button to start and stop and the bottom button to re-set to zero (although it sets just to the left of zero).

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
