Description

Gents Accurist 400 diver’s style chronograph.

The watch has a 17-jewel Landeron 51 hand-winding movement which is working well. The Landeron 51 was in production from 1937 until 1970, we would date this back to the 1960s.

The Accurist 400 came in two sizes, this is the larger variant at 39mm diameter across the bi-directional bezel. The case is stainless steel and it is in good condition with just general light surface marking, nothing serious at all.

The screw-on case back is signed Accurist (although rubbed now). It also states that the watch is waterproof but, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture.

The lens is in good condition, light marking visible through a magnifying loupe.

The signed dial is in its original finish which has some age related marking. Original hands. Two subsidiary dials, one for constant seconds and the other to record up to 30 minutes. This recording dial has three large markers at three, six and nine minutes. These were aimed at the businessman who made international telephone calls which were very expensive at the time. The calls were rounded to chargeable chunks of three minutes and so watchmaking companies came up with this scale to help people control their talking duration.

A later leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
