This unusual chronograph wristwatch is distinguished by the very good and original overall condition: the three bodies, solid stainless steel case is in very well-preserved conditions with stepped bezel, snap-on case and stepped fluted lugs. The dial is in matte silver, preserved in surprising conditions with painted Arabic numerals, subsidiary dials for the seconds and the 30-minute registers, 1/5 seconds track, outer red telemeter scale, outermost blue tachometer scale and blue steel feuille hands.
