Et fint eksempel på midt‑århundredets schweiziske horologi, denne klassiske Orfina-kronograf fra 1940’erne har det ikoniske 


A fine example of mid-century Swiss horology, this classic 1940s Orfina chronograph features the iconic "Up/Down" (vertical sub-dial) layout powered by the legendary Venus Caliber 170. Orfina—a renowned Swiss manufacture established in Grenchen in 1922—is celebrated for crafting precision timing instruments, making vintage pieces like this highly prized by collectors.
The silvered dial displays a vertical sub-register configuration: a 30-minute chronograph counter at 12 o'clock and continuous seconds at 6 o'clock. The dial is embellished with bold printed Arabic numerals, a red inner telemeter scale, and an outer tachymeter scale. Inside, the column-wheel Venus 170 manual-wind movement is housed in a polished case with a stainless steel snap-back caseback stamped "Fond Acier Inoxydable 170".
