Large size (40mm), military style face with a cool black dial, aged tritium hands and markers and great looking bi-directional bezel.
Inspired by Sinn and 70's Guinand pilot chronographs, this watch was produced somewhere during the 90's, most likely after the Guinand brand and production facilities were purchased/saved by Helmut Sinn.
Case - Approx. 40mm excluding crown. The case has some expected dings and scratches. Bezel shows signs of wear and rotates bi-directionally.
Caseback - See-through caseback, screw down. Serial is perfectly visible.
Crown - marked CS, original, screw-in. The "CS" marking comes from ChronoSport and is correct for the brand. It was marketed as both Guinand and ChronoSport at the time and parts were, of course, interchangeable and used on both versions of the dial, depending on stock.
Crystal - original to my knowledge, slightly domed.
Dial and hands - original in good condition. The script remains intact; tritium hour markers developed uniform specific patina. The luminous material on the hands shows the passage of time but is still fully present. Sightly different patina (even burnt, see photos) from dial markers, but same color as lume dot on the bezel.
Movement - Automatic Val. 7750 caliber with nice decorations and signed rotor. Date a six, slightly misaligned to my eyes (or maybe I'm displaying too many signs of OCD). Minute hand also 1 milimeter to the right. All hands reset to 0.
The movement is working excellent with good amplitude and timekeeping. Previous owner claimed it was serviced, no paperwork available to attest it.
Waterproof - Not guaranteed, however claimed to be 200 meters due to screw-in caseback and crown. It passed a 100m waterproof test at my watchmaker.
Don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions.
The watch is located I Denmark.
Price: 1200€ + shipping
