Cimier Sport brand, gold plated, vintage chronograph watch from the 1960s with a panda dial. Vintage manual chronographs are among the most sought-after watches in the vintage watch world. These are the kinds of watches that will steadily appreciate in value over the years to come, despite the rigors of attending football games, riding bikes in the countryside, and having a few beers with a friend. This rangefinder watch is a 37mm model to the crown and was made in Switzerland in the 1950s (look at the 6 o'clock position at the bottom of the dial). It has a beautiful black dial with elegant buttons, gold hands, and silver sub-dials. It features gold accents, including a rangefinder scale and a beautiful cream-colored lumen. The rangefinder scale measures the distance over a fixed mile in miles per hour. This piece features the rarer central snail scale, which can read speeds as low as 20 miles per hour. Therefore, it has the ability to measure the distance of an event that is both visible and audible to its user, such as a torpedo attack and/or a lightning strike... if you so desire. MOVEMENT: This is a single-stone R. Lapanouse movement and displays accurate time. Technically, this watch is a chronograph, but it is often referred to by some as a "lap timer". The upper sub-dial of the chronograph records 45-minute increments, while the lower sub-dial adds up 6 hours. You need to manually advance the hour to exactly 12 and allow the seconds hand to also reach 12; both chronograph indicators will now be at "0". Pressing the upper chronograph button starts the seconds hand, and pressing the lower button stops it. After pressing the button, the time advances until the other button is pressed. The upper dial can display time in 45-minute increments, and the lower dial in 6-hour increments. To see the current time again, you need to look at another watch and readjust it using the traditional push-pull crown. CASE: The watch case is gold plated and structurally sound, however, there may be some chipping on the side of the case and behind the lugs as shown. DIAL: In excellent condition.
