Latest non-Heuer arrival *PIC*
In Response To: Another friday - Watch you're wearing? *PIC* ()

This is a Wittnauer Genève Professional Chronograph ref. 7004A 239T (whatever this does mean) on a perfectly matching vintage strap from Squinky.

On the first glance I was fascinated by this very fine dial with script under these rather bold (diver's?) hands. The sub dials are small but the layout is well proportioned -- contrary to today's large chronographs with small movements.

Note the "TACHOMETER" scale and the 5-4-3-2-1-0 minutes countdown. Does anybody know an application of this countdown?

Have a nice weekend.

Cheers,

Mick
