Title: Wonderful Private Label Wittnauer Round Pusher SS Chrono
Description: NEARMINT condition. Sweet old waterproof (at the time) and dustproof chronograph. Gorgeous 99% original tight dial with super faint spots not seen with the naked eye. Private label means jewelry store watch with the store name on the dial. Made this way originally from the factory. Perfect itsy bitsy tiny text on the three outside meters/timers. First the traditional tachymeter in blue used to measure speed traveling one mile. Next, in red are the numerals 1 thru 12 (km) with 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, push the button at 2 when you see it strike and push the button again to stop it (the long center chronograph hand) 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 10 seconds after the bolt the distance will read 2 (km). Finally, on the very inside is a black 0-60 graduation is for simple minute timing. Extra fine steel case is heavy and unbuffed from what I can tell. No scuffs, nicks or scratches excepting on small tool mark on the back. Original circular sand marks and brushed sides still intact. The Swiss made 17j shock protected Wittnauer signed (Venus Caliber 88) hand wound movement is in perfect running condition and keeps excellent time. A brand new black leather strap is included. Measures 36 mm wide (not including the crown) x 44 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$675} Item #5051
