Title: Gorgeous Clinton Up/Down Chronograph

Description: GOOD condition.  Mesmerizing original silver, pink and cream dial with unusual up down chrono counters. The detail of the outside edge is amazing as three different gauges are arranged out there. The tachymeter or fine numbering in black from 400 to 60, clockwise is used to measure speed traveling one mile (try it from mile marker to marker on the highway, for instance if it takes you 55 seconds the hand will stop just left of 65 on the tachymeter which indicates that you averaged 65.5 mph in that mile). Next, in pink are the numerals 1 thru 12 (km) with the 12 near the top. This is a telemeter scale which is used to time distance related to sound. For instance to time the distance of a bolt of lightning from its furthest point, start the chronograph (button at 2) when you see it strike and stop it (same button) when you hear the thunder. Each division, 1-12 is 1 km with the miniscule marks between the numbers representing 100 meters. So, if you hear the thunder 7 seconds after the bolt the distance will read 2 (km) and 500 meters or just over a mile. Finally, a black 0-60 graduation is for simple minute timing. Normal seconds at 6 with a 30 minute counter at 12. The hand wound Venus (Swiss made) chronograph movement runs great but does have some wash-out (the nickel finish is faded from servicing), see close-up photos. The three piece case has a steel snap on back and chrome plated middle body and bezel. The middle body has lost its chrome. Flat pusher 1940's chronos are not very water or dust resistant. Measures 35.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$525} Item #4959 SALE! {$375} SOLD
