Vintage 1950s Military Chronograph

Landeron 148 manual wind movement

Real Beauty! This late 1950s Classic chronograph in very good running condition – both watch and chronograph work as should.

The case has been recently refinished by our watchmaker, and the dial with large chrono sub-dials and the hands are all in original condition with some patina, which adds to the character of the watch.

There aren’t many watches like this around – it just looks wonderful on the wrist!
