Woah!!! Beautiful wittnauer bicompax. The sunken sub dials gives depth and dimension to the watch. More info please...
Chocolate n Lolipop...
Thanks terrenceterrence..
So a bit info;
Case = unpolished +-40mm on a 6.5in wrist. Big watch back then....
Strap = 20mm quite big for vintage...
Hands = Original with what I think is original lume ( all lumes has same intensity and fades equally at night..) there is few other variation of hands..
Movement = Manual Landeron 248 ( some newer models might be fitted with V7733) Btw the movement runs pretty good for a 50year old..
Production date = circa mid 50s to mid 60s
Crown = unmarked (not so sure if it's original ( but seen a lot of the same models is without the "W" sign)) (those newer I assume with "Wittnauer Geneve" on the dial will usually have the "W" sign on the crown.
Dail = I found 2 variations so far ... this one with just "Wittnauer" and another with "Wittnauer Geneve". I think the later is newer and much easier available. But Wittnauer is not rare. Still affordable range.
Bezel = turns both way .. like most vintage watch, no clicks, nice light red brown colour.
Pushers = top - start, Bottom- stop and continue, top - reset. so to start- stop- reset = press top- bottom- top.. not your usual valjoux.
Best thing I like - big, good nice lume, choco bezel, the lollipop.... and of course.. it says Professional Chronograph, ahemm suit me nice since I am a professional money spender.....
Question: I have no idea why they put a 5 minutes countdown on the minutes counter.... any ideas anyone..?
