    Whilst the Tipo CP-2 chronographs made by Zenith, Universal Genève and Leonidas for the pilots of the Italian navy are quite popular and can be found regularly at auction, the CP-1 models are rather difficult to come by.

    The present model from 1964 made by Leonidas is one of those rare examples. The CP refers to the fact that it is a wristwatch (Cronometro da Polso) the CP-1s differ to the CP-2s by their size, 38mm. vs 43mm.
    This Leonidas CP-1 has all the military attributes a collector can hope for. Not only does it have military markings on the back, most notably the AMI (Aeronautica Militare Italiana) as well as the issuance number but the no frills black dial with large Arabic numerals and rotating bezel are also perfectly suited for the needs of the pilots during their flight missions.

    However, the Leonidas CP-1 is quite different to the other AMI models known as it is the only one with hacking seconds, flyback chronograph and a surprising clamshell case construction case enabling for reinforced water resistance.

    The present watch will please the collector of military timepieces thanks to its overall excellent condition and its ultimate rarity.
