The Vintage Wrist Watch Company

Description

Antique 1920s Leonidas chronograph pocket watch.

The chronograph has a stem-winding movement, identified as by Valjoux for Leonidas, which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has a minor marking.

The chronograph measures 51mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel and it is in nice condition with just general light marking, nothing serious at all.

The acrylic lens is in good condition, just light marking.

The signed dial has an inner 24 hour dial, two subsidiary dials (one for constant seconds and the other to record up to 30 minutes), and an outer 0-300 scale which is a classic feature on English navigation chronographs. There is a small old patch of damage at the bottom of the dial.

The chronograph comes in a period presentation box.
