AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Swiss Ardan chronostop watch from the 1960s.

Apart from slight signs of aging on the case (see photos that are part of the description), the watch is in good visual condition given its age.

The watch is sold as is: not serviced by a professional watchmaker who alone can guarantee its long-term functionality. In the meantime, it has been tested on a flat surface for 14 hours, maintaining accurate time with a slight gain of 2 minutes.

A chronostop is different from a chronograph: there is no automatic reset (unless you manually set all the hands to 12 o'clock, which then allows the watch to be used as a stopwatch).

Model used notably by doctors to measure the duration of operations or by athletes.

39 mm case excluding the crown.
- thickness: approximately 12.2 mm;
Bracelet width 19 mm.
- length (watch + bracelet): approximately 24 cm;
not water resistant
- Swiss movement / caliber with manual winding (18000 A/h);
- The two pushers are fully functional: note that one of the pushers is used to stop the seconds hand BUT ALSO the movement (so if it is held down for more than 30 seconds, the watch will need to be reset to the correct time), the other pusher allows the hands and movement to restart.
New rally-style leather bracelet.
- Telemeter scale with an attractive dial in a cream white color.

Beautiful original piece for collectors.
