Chronographs became very popular with society in the 1930s. Watch manufactures of the time were keen to capitalize on this new trend making a variety of chronographs with different dial designs. The present watch is in extremely well preserved condition with water-resistant-type case that still displays its original engravings to the case back. Its original black dial is extremely well preserved and has turned to a warm brown tone and its stainless steel hands perfectly matching the dial white graphics, giving the watch a very classic, yet stylish look.
