Please give little time to read the full description as this is to let you as a watch collector know the watch condition and it's specification and it's history!

Do you know Titus watch is formally a famous Swiss brand founded in years 1887 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Neuchatel, Switzerland just like a corum watch instead of those you seen in citychain that already owned by Hong Kong nowadays?

This is not some cheap Titus watch worn by youngster you seen in market nowadays, this is a Swiss made collector grade watch that using the Hand-wound Valjoux 92 movement with 7 pillars Column-wheel chronograph, and yet this is a medical pulsation chronograph !
This watch is very fun to own and play because with the medical pulsation scale we can actually count human pulsation heart rate using the chronograph! This type of function you rarely seen in market is because medical chronograph mainly using in vintage era after the world war !

If you don't know what is valjoux column wheel chronograph, let me give you some simple brief.
Valjoux is most famous and top notch watch maker primary in chronograph module. In that era, almost all the watch company can seen with valjoux chronograph, including the famous Tag heuer carrera, Autavia is also with valjoux 92 and the Paul-newman Rolex Daytona that bet more than million dollars in auction house is equipped with a Valjoux 72/72c chronograph movement did you know that?

Today's valjoux still delivers high-quality chronograph movement for a lot watch makers like iwc, omega, breitling all these.. But mainly is modified base with caliber 7750 that we can found even is in a entry level watch, But those super beautiful vintage era valjoux movements like 72, 72c, 22, 23, 92 with "column wheel"  is only can be seen on that era!!! This is a really highly collectible watch with a really attractive price!!!
This is not those entry level column wheel chronograph that modified base on automatic caliber  7750 ! This is a real column-wheel movement !

This watch size is very modern size at 36MM without pusher and crown, lug to lug is up to 43MM with very thin narrow smooth bezel. So it's really wear feel more  larger than a modern entry Seiko 5 size or those similar watch size.

Case : Steel (Stainless Steel caseback)original
Dial : Original untouched with discoloration and aging patina sign can be proved! Beautiful!
Hands : Red gold tones hands ,original
Function : Medical pulsation scale with 2 register
Lug width : 19MM

Watch is running and working in good condition ,just buy and wear. Movement also no any sign of abuse or those bad oxidation which is a very important note to collect a vintage watch. Strongly not recommend contact with water as this is a vintage era collector watch! This is a very good chance to own if you looking something special to play and wear like a modern watch size and definitely won't break your bank !

Please don't compare this watch this movement with those common non column wheel chronograph watch or some other brand only have time without complications! This is really worth if you have do your own homework. You can seen is market all watch beats with valjoux 92,72,22,23 caliber watch all is price very very expensive due to its legendary history especially caliber 72/72C ! Try to think if this is a exactly same column wheel chronograph watch but the logo is different in the dial like Rolex ,iwc, Panerai, oris, longines, corum, jeager le-coultre, audemars piguet, vacheron Constantin all these, do you know how much all these will cost?  Most common entry level column wheel currently sell by longines price more than 12K also is just a entry 4 pillars column wheel modified based on 7750 only which is not really a real high level of column wheel chronograph!
