Title: Nearmint SS Black Dial 2 Reg. Helbros Chronograph
Description: NEARMINT condition. One of the nicest versions of this genre I have seen recently. Most often this type (1940's flat pusher snap back chronograph) is found in gold plate or chrome plated base metal. This watch is all steel and formerly new old stock condition. I am calling it nearmint because of some faint scuffs on the back and a couple of nicks, one on the bezel at 10. All original including the box. The shiny Swiss made Helbros Caliber 243 chronograph movement has 17 jewels and looks to me like it was serviced once in the recent past. It runs and keeps good time and all of the chronograph functions work perfectly. The small subsidiary dial at 3 counts up to 30 minutes while the long center second hand starts and stops for timing with the button at two. Reset with the other button at 4. It should go without saying that the original strap for this watch would be a real find as leather does not survive 60 years quite like steel. Strap seen is a brand new Hadley Roma black leather strap with a stainless steel buckle. Measures 36 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$775} Item #4855 SALE! {$550} SOLD
