FRESH OFF THE BACK OF THE TRUCK IS THIS OUTSTANDING WITTNAUER CHRONO-DATE FROM THE LATE 60s WITH GORGEOUS PAUL NEWMAN SUBDIALS
-
CASE: HEFTY SOLID STEEL TONNEAU CASE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THIS IS A SIMILAR CASE USED BY HEUER IN THEIR RALLYE CHRONO AND MEASURES A NICE 38mm NOT INCLUDING CROWN. THIS ONE WEARS SUPER SPORTY, ESPECIALLY WITH THAT ORIGINAL BRACELET.
-
DIAL: THIS FACE IS PURE PERFECTION. CHECK OUT THAT WILD FUME DIAL WHICH FADES FROM SILVER TO BLUE DEPENDING ON THE LIGHTING AND THE VIEWING ANGLE. I LOVE THOSE BLUE/WHITE HANDS. THE SHOWSTOPPER HERE ARE THOSE SUPER COOL SQUARED PAUL NEWMAN STYLE SUBDIALS WHICH REALLY BRING THIS ONE UP A FEW NOTCHES. ALL TIED TOGETHER WITH A CHERRY RED SWEEPER
-
MOVEMENT: THIS WITTNAUER IS POWERED BY A 17J VALJOUX 7734 TICKING UNDER THE HOOD. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING TIME. SERVICE HISTORY IS UKNOWN BUT HAS BEEN BEHAVING PERFECTLY FOR WEEKS OF ON/OFF WRIST OBSERVATION.
- THIS RACING CHRONO IS MOUNTED ON ITS ORIGINAL WITTNAUER SIGNED BEAR OYSTER STYLE BRACELET IN MINTY CONDITION. THIS ONE CAN EASILY ACCOMODATE UP TO A 7.8" WRIST. IF YOU ARE A VINTAGE CHRONO NUT LIKE I AM, YOU KNOW THAT THE WITTNAUER PROFESSIONAL MODELS FROM THE 60s AND 70s ARE SOME OF THE MOST ICONIC AND SOUGHT AFTER.....ESPECIALLY IN THIS TYPE OF CONDITION. THIS MODEL IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES BECAUSE OF THE PAUL NEWMAN TREATMENT IN THE SUBDIALS AND THAT CRAZY FUME DIAL. SUCH COOL LATE 60s SWAGGER. YOU CAN'T BEAT THE CONDITION AND THE FUN FACTOR ON THIS GUY. THIS IS A MUST FOR ANY SERIOUS CHRONO COLLECTOR.
