Gents 1950s Accurist chronograph / wrist watch.

The watch has a hand-winding movement, a Landeron 48, which is working nicely.

The watch measures 36mm diameter excluding the winding crown, lugs and buttons. The case is gold plated. The front is in good condition while there is some wear to the back, around the opening to the movement. The snap-on case back is stainless steel.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in good original condition. There are two subsidiary dials, one records up to 30 minutes while the other is for constant seconds. The recording sub dial includes the larger markers at three, six and nine minutes. These were designed to help the business man who made international telephone calls which were very expensive at the time. The calls were rounded to chargeable chunks of three minutes and so watch making companies came up with this scale to help people keep track of the time spent on the 'phone.

The chronograph is operated by by pressing the top button to start and the bottom button to stop and re-set to zero. There is a very slight issue in that when the chronograph button is pressed, the little hand on the time recording sub dial jumps forwards a little.

A later leather strap has been fitted.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
