Darwil - Precision Chronograph - Valjoux 234 - Men - 1960-1969

Rare Vintage Darwil Precision Chronograph – Valjoux 234, 17 Jewels – NOS You are bidding on a rare, vintage Darwil Precision Swiss chronograph, powered by the prestigious Valjoux 234 calibre. A true high‑end manual chronograph, now presented in new old stock (NOS) condition Movement: Mechanical manual-wind chronograph — Calibre Valjoux 234, 17 jewels. The Valjoux 234 is derived from the legendary Valjoux 23 family, part of the 23/72 series. The Valjoux 23 was one of the most respected column-wheel chronograph movements, produced for decades and used by many high-end watchmakers. The 234 offers a refined evolution: it retains the classic architecture of the Valjoux 23 but runs at 21,600 vph (3 Hz) and includes a date function (in this variant) Case: Solid stainless steel, 37 mm in diameter (excluding crown) in mint condition. With press-on caseback. Dial: Beautiful blue‑white dial with silver-tone markers and hands — elegant and very legible Scratch—free crystal The watch has been tested: it winds smoothly, sets correctly, and keeps excellent time This chronograph comes on a new, blue leather strap (21/16) — perfectly matching the dial and giving the piece a fresh, refined look while maintaining vintage character. For a seasoned collector, this Darwil Precision is more than just a watch: it’s a nearly untouched piece of horological history. With the Valjoux 234 inside — a highly respected, high-quality movement — plus its NOS status, it's a rare and compelling find. Watch will be carefully packed and send insured for full value and traceable
