UK POSTAGE ONLY FOR THIS ITEM

Gents 1950s Pallas Chronographe wrist watch.

The watch has a 17-jewel Landeron 48 hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner metal cover.

The watch measures 38mm diameter excluding the winding crown, buttons and lugs. The case is 18ct rose gold and there are Continental marks on the back of the watch, together with the Poinçon de Maître for the Swiss case maker Roger Parel SA. The front of the case is in good condition while the case back has some unevenness.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial has some marking but you have to look closely to see it. There are two subsidiary dials, one for constant seconds and the other records up to 30 minutes. The chronograph feature is operated via the top button to start and the lower button to stop and then again to re-set to zero. The chronograph feature should not be left running constantly. The hands are the originals although they have been over painted at some stage.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
