This model stands out immediately through its oversized 38 mm case, considerably larger than typical chronographs of the time, making it extremely desirable among collectors today. At its heart lies the legendary Valjoux 92, one of the finest column-wheel chronograph movements ever produced. Known for its smooth pusher action, reliability and elegant construction, the Valjoux 92 was used by prestigious brands such as Breitling, Universal Genève and Girard-Perregaux. Its presence inside a Lorenz adds significant technical and historical value. The silver dial carries a beautiful period-correct patina, with warm tones, applied markers and gold-tone hands that complement the overall design. The tachymeter and minute track remain clearly visible, preserving the instrument-like charm of mid-century chronographs. Paired with an original Lorenz presentation box, this timepiece offers both aesthetic authenticity and collectible appeal — a rare opportunity to own a true mechanical artifact from the golden age of Swiss chronograph engineering.
