In Response To: FS: Chronofix Type 222 ()

Sharing some information about this:

From what I have understood, these Type 222 ones were produced before the Type 20 specification had been issued (at that point, you saw Breguet/Dodane/Auricoste, etc. come out with their Type XX chronos for pilots).

This one is also a Chronofix (which is under house Dodane). By my understanding, it was probably produced in the 40s, since it had to have been before the Type 20 specification came out.

I know of only a few people that own one, and they're incredibly hard to come by.

The serial number on the caseback and movement on mine are close and in accordance with another example I have found, and I would obviously provide this upon purchase.

Just FYI -- I'm selling this because I'm planning on buying another watch soon. Not that I necessarily need the funds to afford the next one... I just like having a reserve pool in the watch fund and feel that I don't appreciate this watch as much as I should. With that said, I'm completely open to offers since these are tricky to price, so long as you are interested in it and will take care of it.
