Story & Heritage Vintage Swiss chronographs such as this Dulux reflect a golden era when mechanical timekeeping was both a practical instrument and an expression of style. Before electronic timing devices became common, watches like this were used to measure elapsed time, speed and distance, making them valuable tools for professionals, travellers and enthusiasts. The two-register chronograph layout, telemeter scale and warm patinated dial give this piece a distinctive mid-century personality. It is the kind of watch that tells more than time — it carries the marks of decades, the charm of traditional Swiss mechanics and the elegant proportions of classic vintage watch design. A beautiful choice for collectors who appreciate honest vintage character, mechanical chronographs and watches with soul. Internal Reference Number - Xtm. 141
