Who Is H. Moser, Anyway? H. Moser, as we know it today, operates out of Schaffhausen, Switzerland – a town best known for being the home of another watch company. The H. Moser Endeavour Perpetual Calendar, formerly known as the Perpetual 1. This incredibly thoughtful perpetual is absolutely the manufacture's most popular timepiece, offering something that frankly does not exist anywhere else.The perpetual calendar complication is one of the most complex complications there is. Perpetual calendar watches display the date while keeping track of the month, the year, and whether that specific year is a leap year, automatically adjusting based on the number of days in each month, even February, even during a leap year. Not only are they mechanically complex, but they’re also typically visually busy, as they need to display a lot of information. But that doesn’t have to be the case. Consider this H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Perpetual Calendar. Moser proves with this timepiece that while perpetual calendars are complex mechanically, they can still be simple aesthetically. This H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Perpetual Calendar is actually the direct descendent of Moser’s first watch post relaunch in 2005. The Perpetual 1 introduced the world to Moser and their unique minimalist take on the perpetual calendar timepiece. It was such a groundbreaking watch that it won the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève in the complication category. This Endeavour perpetual calendar carries the torch for that foundational timepiece and continues to show why Moser is a brand worth paying more attention to.PERPETUAL FLASH CALENDAR Our Endeavour Perpetual Calendar is best known for its simple design. It shows only the time, date, month and power reserve. It compensates mechanically for the differing number of days in the months, hence the name perpetual. The sapphire crystal case-back reveals the H. Moser HMC 341 movement as well as the leap year cycle. The remarkable design of the Perpetual Calendar is possible in part due to the ingenious display for the month: this short central arrow hand uses the 12 hour indices to indicate the month. The H. Moser big date display is also very rare in that it is a flash calendar, generating the power to change the date in a fraction of a second. This combination of exceptional solutions led the Endeavour Perpetual Calendar to be recognized at the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix in 2006.This is a specials never worn / unworn and just came back form service that 9/3/21 with service papers. 2 year warranty form the date.

Having a love for complications and complicated watches, makes me love Chronograph watches. At first two register chronograph for simplicity of the dial and providing chronograph functionality for the most. Then the three-register chronograph for the complication of movement and the history of the movements, like of the iconic Omega Ref. 321, Ref. 861 (used in famous moon landing), Zenith El Primero, Venus mostly used in Breitlings, Landeron, and one of the most well-known movement makers Valjoux. With their famous Valjoux 72 put in the vintage Rolex Pre Daytona’s and of course the big dog Patek Philippe reference 2499 using Valjoux 88 my favorite which sold in auction for $3.30 Million in 2018. I also love the Heuer Caliber 11 first micro automatic chronograph movement with date.A Chronograph is simply a watch that combines the function of a stopwatch with a timekeeping display watch, by utilizing an independent sweep second hand. Chronographs often have complications on the face of the watch which can be used to record different time measurements, moon cycles, heart rate and more. Chronographs have usually have a separate buttons to stop, start, and reset (unless it is an monopusher) the stopwatch complication, with the start button typically at the two and four o’clock position.The name Chronograph is derived from the Greek words ‘Chronos’ – the personification of time – and ‘graph’, meaning to write. The first modern Chronograph was created in 1816 by French watchmaker, Louis Moinet. Invented solely for use in union with astrological equipment, Moinet’s Chronograph could measure time accurate to 1/60th of a second – an unrivaled degree of precision at the time of its creation."poor man's" Heu-ers represent an interesting facet of Heu-er's history and also provide a sensible way for individuals to collect these chronographs on a more reasonable budget. The term "Poor Man's Heu-er" only to refer to chronographs manufactured by Heu-er for other brands one of which is Zodiac & Clebar, which is one of my favorite brands. Please note on ebay there are few brands that are not made by Heu-er and still refer to as Poor man which is not true. The Reference 2558 chronograph is a triple calendar (day-date-month), three register chronograph, in 18 karat gold. Also one of the rarest, at the time it was close to 4 times the price of Valjoux 72 version 345, and about 3 times the 2543. So not too many were sold, which makes the watch very special. This sample is the "top of the line" model, with raised gold figures on the dial. The dial is not white or silver, but more of a cream color; the gold dauphine hands show that nothing has been spared in the execution of this model.This is a beauty. It is very rare to find a watch this old with original Heuer Service box. Defiantly a collector watch. Please look at all the pictures, as they are part of the description.

1966 Breitling Navitimer 806 — Big Cursive "B" Panda Dial Vintage Pilot Chronograph | Venus 178 | Certified Pre-Owned — Serviced ✦ Introduction There are a lot of words to describe this wristwatch, but the best one to sum it all up would be “WOW.” This is an exceptionally rare, very limited-run Navitimer with the Big Cursive “B” — in outstanding condition for its age. If you are a Breitling collector, you don’t want to miss this one. The Navitimer — conceived by Breitling with AOPA in the early 1950s — became the definitive pilot’s chronograph. Designed as a wrist-worn navigation computer with a slide-rule bezel, the Navitimer enabled pilots to compute airspeed, fuel consumption, and distance long before electronic devices existed. Our example dates to ≈1966 and features all-original dial printing with the rare Big Cursive “B.” It appears to belong to the second 806 series (early 1964–late 1966), making it one of the last Navitimers produced with this dial variant — an important detail for collectors. Serviced and running; please review photos carefully as they form part of the description. ✦ Collector’s Insight The Big Cursive “B” Navitimer is especially sought-after by vintage Breitling enthusiasts — this dial variant was short-lived and rarely seen in clean, original condition. Documentation from specialists (kurt-b.com contributors) indicates this example is part of the second 806 series, increasing its desirability. A great piece for serious pilot-chronograph collectors. ✦ Key Features ✔ Big Cursive “B” Panda Dial — original printing ✔ Manual-winding Venus 178 movement — serviced ✔ Slide-rule calculating bezel for pilot navigation ✔ Circa 1966 — rare production window for Big Cursive “B” ✔ Certified Authentic Pre-Owned Luxury Watches (CPO) ✦ Specification Brand: Breitling | Model / Production Year: 1966 Navitimer 806 “Cursive Big B” Case ✔ Stainless steel case & case back; signed snap-on back. ✔ Case size: 41 mm (without crown); thickness ≈13 mm. Dial & Hands ✔ Panda dial with Big Cursive “B”; luminous hands & markers (some lume loss/fading). ✔ Original printing; minor dial aging & spotting (see images). Movement ✔ Manual-winding Venus 178 — serviced and running; keeps good time. ✔ Chronograph functions tested; reset aligns correctly. Complication ✔ Chronograph (3-register) + slide-rule calculator. Crystal ✔ Acrylic crystal — light scratches consistent with age. Bezel ✔ Inner slide-rule calculating bezel — visible aging (see photos). Strap ✔ Supplied on leather strap — Lug Size: 22 mm (see photos). Box ✔ Comes with vintage-style box or Experts Watches pouch. Certified Pre-Owned - Warranty ✔ Certified Pre-Owned — passed 25-point inspection. ✔ Includes 3-month service warranty. Timing Test & Service Level ✔ Timing Test: ≈ +11 s/day (in-house test). ✔ Service Level 2 — Serviced and function-checked. Made In ✔ Switzerland Water Resistance ✔ Not water-resistant — pressure test before any water use. Notes ✔ All watch functions tested and operable. ✔ Hour and minute hands show lume loss; original finish maintained. ✔ Some small lume fading around 8 o’clock — see images for details. * Please review photos carefully as they form part of the description. This timepiece is tested, fully operational, and offered in working condition. ✦ Brief History The Navitimer was conceived as a pilot’s wrist-worn navigation computer; its slide-rule bezel allowed in-flight calculations before portable electronics. The 806 reference is one of Breitling’s most iconic designs — the Big Cursive “B” dial variant is especially rare and well-regarded by specialists and collectors. Research by Justin Koullapis and Kurt Broendum helps document the 806 series production windows — this example’s dial and serial details place it toward the end of the Big “B” run, making it a desirable and collectible example.

Circa 1949-1950's About OMEGAFrom its inception in 1848 by Louis Brandt at just 23 years old, OMEGA has been synonymous with precision, innovation, and timeless elegance. By 1895, OMEGA watches achieved a remarkable precision of 30 seconds a day, and by the turn of the 19th century, the company was one of Switzerland’s largest watchmakers, producing 240,000 pieces annually with a workforce of 800.OMEGA’s illustrious history includes serving as the official timekeeper at 21 Olympic Games, setting a world precision record of 97.8 points in 1936, and being the first watch worn on the Moon during Neil Armstrong’s historic lunar mission in 1969.The Caliber 321 MovementThe Omega Caliber 321 chronograph movement is the stuff of legend. Known for its precision and exceptional craftsmanship, this manually wound movement was famously used in the Speedmaster that went to the Moon. However, it wasn’t limited to the Speedmaster alone; this iconic movement also powered the rare and stylish Seamaster chronographs of the 1960s, bridging both technical prowess and elegance. The SpeedMaster LineIn 1957, with motorsport in mind, Omega launched the Speedmaster, which in 1965 was chosen by NASA as its official chronometer in Space. Four years later, the Moonwatch was the first watch to be worn on the Moon, when on 21st July 1969, Neil Armstrong made his giant leap for mankind. Currently, Omega belongs to the Swatch Group.

From OMEGA’s beginnings, our timepieces have recorded some of the most significant moments in the world (and beyond). They have been worn by presidents and kings, astronauts and spies, movie stars and you. Behind each one is a legacy of horological quality and innovation. Omega Caliber 321The Omega Caliber 321 chronograph movement is a thing of legend. After all, it has been to the Moon, the iconic Speedmaster wasn’t the only Omega chronograph made in the 1960s to utilize this high grade manually wound unit. It also found its way into the considerably less common, one might even say rare, Seamaster chronographs from the same era. The Seamaster line was, at the time, the more stylish alternative – more about the looks than about its technical capabilities. But with the addition of the Caliber 321 it was no less proficient a timing tool.Launched in 1948 to coincide with the brand’s 100th anniversary, the Omega Seamaster line is the oldest in the current collection. Loosely based on the waterproof wristwatches made for the British military at the end of World War II, the Seamaster was first intended as a robust yet elegant watch for active individuals who wanted a watch for town, sea and country.The Seamaster’s first diving-record was achieved in 1955, when diver Gordon McLean reached a depth of 62.5 meters in Australia. The key to these watches was the O-ring rubber gasket. At this time, water-resistant watches generally used lead or shellac gaskets which were susceptible to temperature changes. The engineers at OMEGA were so sure of the Seamaster that one flew the Polar Route over the North Atlantic attached to the outside of a Douglas DC6 aircraft in 1956.I consider the Seamaster two lines in one: the big, heavy Professional, designed for divers for deep diving, and a dress range also made by Seamaster. Omega was founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt at the age of 23. The brand’s reputation grew fast and in 1895 the watches achieved a precision of 30 seconds a day.By the turn of the 19th century Omega was one of Switzerland’s largest watch companies with 240,000 watches produced annually and employing 800 people. Omega made its debut in sports during the Gordon Bennett international ballooning Cup in 1917; since then Omega has gone on to be the official timekeeper at 21 Olympic Games. In 1936 Omega set the remarkable World precision record of 97.8 points at the Kew-Teddington observatory in England.In 1957, with motorsport in mind, Omega launched the Speedmaster, which in 1965 was chosen by NASA as its official chronometer in Space. Four years later the Moonwatch was the first watch to be worn on the Moon, when on 21st July 1969 Neil Armstrong made his giant leap for mankind. Currently Omega belongs to the Swatch Group. The Omega cal. 321 movement was in production for roughly only 11 years. The production of this specific movement was cost prohibitive. Making this piece, from a horological perspective, that much more limited and ultimately rare altogether due to lower production numbers.Description: This is a beauty.

But with the addition of the Caliber 321 it was no less proficient a timing tool.Launched in 1948 to coincide with the brand’s 100th anniversary, the Omega Seamaster line is the oldest in the current collection. Loosely based on the waterproof wristwatches made for the British military at the end of World War II, the Seamaster was first intended as a robust yet elegant watch for active individuals who wanted a watch for town, sea and country.The Seamaster’s first diving-record was achieved in 1955, when diver Gordon McLean reached a depth of 62.5 meters in Australia. The key to these watches was the O-ring rubber gasket. At this time, water-resistant watches generally used lead or shellac gaskets which were susceptible to temperature changes. The engineers at OMEGA were so sure of the Seamaster that one flew the Polar Route over the North Atlantic attached to the outside of a Douglas DC6 aircraft in 1956.I consider the Seamaster two lines in one: the big, heavy Professional, designed for divers for deep diving, and a dress range also made by Seamaster. Omega was founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt at the age of 23. The brand’s reputation grew fast and in 1895 the watches achieved a precision of 30 seconds a day.By the turn of the 19th century Omega was one of Switzerland’s largest watch companies with 240,000 watches produced annually and employing 800 people. Omega made its debut in sports during the Gordon Bennett international ballooning Cup in 1917; since then Omega has gone on to be the official timekeeper at 21 Olympic Games. In 1936 Omega set the remarkable World precision record of 97.8 points at the Kew-Teddington observatory in England.In 1957, with motorsport in mind, Omega launched the Speedmaster, which in 1965 was chosen by NASA as its official chronometer in Space. Four years later the Moonwatch was the first watch to be worn on the Moon, when on 21st July 1969 Neil Armstrong made his giant leap for mankind. Currently Omega belongs to the Swatch Group. The Omega cal. 321 movement was in production for roughly only 11 years. The production of this specific movement was cost prohibitive. Making this piece, from a horological perspective, that much more limited and ultimately rare altogether due to lower production numbers.

📚 Omega Speedmaster Mark II Reference 145.034 – Gold Plated – 1970 – Full Set This vintage Omega Speedmaster Mark II Reference 145.034 is a rare gold 20 micron plated model powered by the manual-wind caliber 861. Serial number dates the watch to 1970. The Mark II was introduced in 1969 as the first full redesign of the classic Speedmaster Moonwatch case, marking the second generation of the manual-wound Speedmaster line. The Speedmaster Mark II reference 145.034 is the gold-plated version of the Mark II line, powered by the manual-wind caliber 861, the robust, workhorse successor to the legendary caliber 321. With its barrel-shaped ‘Pilot Line’ case and integrated tachymeter under the mineral crystal, the Mark II was designed to offer improved legibility and protection over the original Moonwatch case while retaining the Speedmaster’s professional chronograph heritage. The Mark II was offered in several configurations, including stainless steel with black dial, grey/orange “racing” dials, yachting dials, a gold-plated version with gilt dial, and an even rarer 18k yellow gold model. The barrel-shaped “Pilot Line” case design was shared with the Flightmaster and originated from a secret Omega development project of the era. 📦 Provenance This example is a beauty and comes from a single-owner family. It was purchased from the son of the original owner, who had gifted it to his father. The watch was originally bought at the El Toro Marine Base Post Exchange in Orange County, California in June 1977 (the base closed in July 1999). The bracelet clasp is inscribed with the name K. Zike and what appears to be an address, matching the family history. The watch comes with its Box, Papers, and original bracelet in a very raw, untouched condition. Very few complete sets like this remain. 🕰️ About This Watch This is the rare gold-plated Speedmaster Mark II variant, Reference 145.034. The watch is working and was serviced by the last owner.

Omega Watches

There are a lot of words to describe this wristwatch, but the best one to sum it all up would probably be "WOW".It all started when Breitling & AOPA decided to develop a revolutionary watch with a built-in chronograph and navigation computer (sliderule). Breitling Switzerland has indicated production began in 1952, but it's my strong belief that the first Navitimers became available in 1954. AOPA (Aircraft Owners & Pilots Association) immediately decided to make it their official watch, and in that way the first Navitimer was born with AOPA's beautiful official wing logo displayed on its dial. Per my understanding this is the rarest between the two jet since the AOPA was purchased by the members.The Breitling Reference 806 Navitimer is easily the most iconic model the brand ever produced and remains near the top of virtually every vintage watch collector's wish list. Initially developed in the early 1950s, the Navitimer was designed from the ground up to be a function-first tool watch, offering a slide-rule navigation computer function operated by an internally-rotatable bezel. This incredible feature allows pilots to perform essential calculations on their wrist, long before mobile electronics were available. While the true functionality of the Navitimer is lost on most of us, there is no question that serious pilots (and astronauts) depended on their Navitimers as serious navigation tool. It has been said that the 806 created a new category in historical horology of wristwatch or wrist instruments.When Breitling designed the Navitimer in the early 1950s, the concept of a civilian tool watch was a novel idea. Watch companies produced a few purpose-designed pieces for military use in the early 20th century, but most watches that were sold at retailers were designed with purely fashion in mind. In the 1950s and 1960s, the tool watch market exploded, fueled by the popularity of SCUBA diving and the growing interest in aviation. Breitling was one of the earliest manufactures to respond to the trend when they released the Navitimer in 1954.Most passers-by would refer to the Navitimer as a watch, but that’s not quite right. This is a wrist-worn navigational computer. The Navitimer’s most distinctive feature, the slide rule bezel, is used by pilots to calculate airspeed, ascent and decent rates, flight time, distance traveled, fuel consumption and even imperial to metric unit conversions. The Navitimer truly is a computer, and also happens to be one of the best damn looking watches out there. In the movie Thunderball (1965), two Breitling watches are prominently used. The first Breitling in the film is a Breitling Navitimer, reference 806, which changes hands several times in the film. Our Navitimer dates from approximately 1965 (James bond year). Featuring all-original dial printing. This particular model also features the Two Jet logo on the dial, very clean watch.This is a beauty and a very rare Breitling Navitimer 806 with Two Jet Topical dial Circa 1965 with the extremely rare beaded bezel. The hands on this watch looks to be changed at some point to Breitling Navitimer 819 (few other Navitimers have similar hands) which I think is a better looking watch, the orange pops and makes the watch looks great.

Vintage Serviced Breitling Navitimer 806 Beaded 1966 Panda Dial Pilot Watch

about the Breitling Navitimer Chrono-Matic (from Mono-Chrome)The most legendary model among the aviator watches is certainly the Breitling Navitimer, a chronograph with an integrated flight computer, which turned 65 in 2017. Pilots from all around the world are still using the Navitimer. Many Air Forces are even using it as regular equipment for their pilots.The Breitling Navitimer is an evolution of the 1942 Breitling Chronomat, with its typical slide rule bezel. Breitling decided to improve this highly practical bezel and in 1952, the ‘Navi’ was born. This slide rule bezel was used to calculate complicated operations without any other tool. Breitling asked the mathematician Marcel Robert to create a slide rule bezel that could perform complex logarithmic calculations. He created a scale with the 3 most important units for pilots: STAT for standard mileage, KM for kilometres and NAUT for nautical miles. This on-the-wrist computer allowed pilots to calculate fuel consumptions, average speeds or climbing speeds.In 1952, the very first Navitimer adorned the “Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association” (AOPA) emblem on its dial (the typical double-wing logo) and by 1960, a real cooperation with the AOPA began. The “Navitimer” name is the contraction of “navigation” and “timer”. The first edition to be sold was the reference 806, powered by a manual chronograph movement with column wheel mechanism, the Venus 178.The Caliber 11 / 12:The last gap towards modernity was the introduction of an automatic chronograph movement. And the solution came in 1969. The man behind the development of this new calibre was Gérald Dubois, who was working for Dépraz & Cie (now famous with the name Dubois Dépraz). Using a base calibre from Buren (a thin automatic movement with a micro-rotor), Dubois worked together with Jack Heuer and Willy Breitling to develop this brand new idea of an automatic chronograph. And that cooperation led to the creation of a modular chronograph mechanism, added on the top of the Buren calibre (for that reason, the integrated micro-rotor is invisible). The legendary Calibre 11 was born. One very unique feature of this movement is its left-positioned crown (the pushers are, as usual, located on the right side of the case). The introduction of this movement changed massively the face of the Navitimer that moved from a tri-compax layout to a bi-compax with date at 6 o’clock configuration. It was during the 1970s that the brand introduced the “fried egg”, a massive 48mm watch (reference 1806). Vintage Breitling Navitimer Chrono-Matic 1806 DDE.BR.11525/67 Circa 1969 This is a vintage c. 1969 stainless steel Breitling Navitimer Chrono-Matic DDE.BR.11525/67. an acrylic crystal. It has round chronograph push buttons, a screw down signed winding crown, and a corrector at 9 o'clock on the right-side case band.

The 48mm diameter solid three-body case, straight lugs, bracelet, and knurled bezel, are polished/brushed. The bidirectional black rotating bezel adjusts the calculation rule under the crystal. The dial is black with applied faceted luminous steel baton hour indices around a white minute/second scale. Around the perimeter are three black and then white slide rule scales. It has twin recessed silver subsidiary dials with black Arabic numerals, markers, and black/orange indicator hands, including a 12-hour chronograph totalizer at 9 o'clock, and there is a 30-minute chronograph totalizer at the 3 o'clock position. There are steel baton hands with white luminous fill, and it has a wedge-shaped orange center sweep seconds chronograph hand. It has a 42-hour power reserve at full winding, it's water resistant to 30 meters/100 feet, and the 13mm thick case, dial, and movement are all signed. This Breitling Navitimer Chrono-Matic DDE.BR.11525/67 has a mechanical automatic self-winding Breitling caliber 11 chronograph movement. It's rhodium plated, and it's constructed with 17 jewels, an Incabloc anti-shock system, and an index regulator. It includes a Breguet hairspring, and a straight-line lever escapement. It has a self-compensating flat balance spring, a micro-rotor housed in the basic movement, and the mechanism oscillates at a frequency of 19,800 vph (2.75 Hz). The Breitling Navitimer Chrono-Matic DDE.BR.11525/67 was introduced in 1969. The caliber 11 movement was the first automatic chronograph movement; it was developed in a joint venture of Heuer, Breitling, Buren, and Dubois-Duprez.This is a beauty and a very rare Breitling Navitimer 1806 with Double Jet dial.

The "slide-rule" Chronomats The Breitling Chronomat with its rotating slide-rule was patented in 1941 as war raged through Europe and other parts of the world, its design offering a welcome respite from the plethora of military and military-inspired watches of the period. The Chronomat's emphasis on engineering and mathematics, science and industry seemed to offer hope for a future when the war would be over and reconstruction could begin. In 1952, the outstanding usefulness and success of the Chronomat inspired the birth of what has since become the most famous Breitling of all, the Navitimer, a chronograph with the slide-rule redesigned for civil aviation pilots. The Chronomat went on to be produced in many forms including a version of the first automatic chronograph watch in the late 1960s and a quartz non-chronograph during the 1970s. Then in the 1980s it was reborn in a very different form as a pilot's watch and without the slide-rule. This new incarnation was designed with input from Italian military pilots. The Chronomat has remained one of Breitling's most successful watches for over sixty years. Contrary to general belief, it is not the Navitimer but the Chronomat that has in recent years proved to be Breitling's most popular model and biggest seller. 1968 - The "big case" Chronomats A completely new type of case with a patented geared bezel mechanism is developed for the Chronomat (and the Navitimer and Cosmonaute chronographs). The first Chronomat to be released for sale is the manual version, the ref 818. The ref 808 also continues in production and initially the 818 is powered by the Venus 175 like the 808 and the previous ref 769. It is thought that later 1970's examples of the ref 818 have the Valjoux 7733 movement. 1969 - The First Automatic Chronograph It is thought the first automatic version of the "big case" Chronomats may have been made available to the public in late 1968, but certainly it is for sale by 1969. The automatic ref 1808 is powered by the newly developed "Chrono-matic" microrotor movement with the crown on the left. Initially this movement is known as the calibre 11 but after a year or so it is slightly altered and called the calibre 12. Breitling is a Swiss brand of watches founded in 1884 by Leon Breitling. The brand has achieved considerable worldwide recognition as a leading manufacturer of chronograph watches. Watches like the Chronomat of the forties and the Navitimer of the fifties are among the most iconic watches ever made.(credit: Watchuseek) This is a beauty.

Vintage BREITLING Chrono-Matic 2111 Calibre 11 Chronograph Automatic Panda Watch

The history of the Calibre 11Starts at the end of 1965. As Büren had pioneered the production of micro-rotor movements, Gérald Dubois (of Dépraz & Co., a chronograph specialist) figured out that these would be thin enough to be the base for a modular chronograph movement. Dubois contacts Hans Kocher of Büren Watch Co. SA. In need of commercial partners, they manage to convince first Jack Heuer and then Willy Breitling to support the project. On February 2nd, 1966, an agreement is signed. The four-party Chronomatic consortium is born, including two rival brands teaming up to develop their own automatic chronograph. For confidentiality purposes, the development is code-named Project 99. The convention signed on February 2, 1966, between Dépraz & Co., Heuer-Léonidas SA and Léon Breitling SA. The partners asked Büren Watch Co. to build the blanks and the automatic movement of an automatic chronograph, the basic execution of which is designated by calibre No. 111. They have an exclusive right to use this calibre. They plan to have Dépraz develop and manufacture the chronograph mechanism to equip this calibre.Büren is in charge of the base calibre. Dépraz of the chronograph mechanism. Three brands – Heuer, Breitling and Hamilton (who acquired Buren during the development process) – will fit the movement inside their watches. A patent application for the Calibre 11 is filed in September 1967. At the end of 1968, about 100 pre-production movements are assembled in prevision of the 1969 Basel fair. On March 3rd 1969, the movement is officially presented, simultaneously in New York and Geneva. A month later, the three brands present their first chronographs at the 1969 Basel fair. With the practicality and comfort of automatic winding, the chronograph becomes a staple of motorsport… the Calibre 11 is used to power iconic watches by Heuer (Carrera, Monaco, Autavia), Breitling (Chrono-Matic) and Hamilton (Fontainebleau). And later by other brands such as Bulova, Kelek, Zodiac, Elgin, Stowa… So, who won the race? Zenith’s automatic chronograph was the first to be unveiled to the world. It was presented during a press conference in January 1969 and christened El Primero (“the first” in Spanish). The reality is a bit more complex. There are endless debates about which was the first automatic chronograph, as both the Seiko and the Chronomatic movements were announced later the same year. What’s more, El Primero was not the first to hit the market. But the controversy about who came first doesn’t really matter anymore… what is important is the impact that these movements had on watchmaking history. Since then, the automatic chronograph has remained one of the most popular complications.THE CALIBRE 11The Calibre 11 is a 17-jewel modular chronograph measuring 31mm x 7.7mm. This modular architecture implies first a base movement, a micro-rotor automatic calibre made by Büren, in charge of the timekeeping part. Beating at 19,800 vibrations per hour, it boasted 42 hours of power reserve. Manufactured by Dépraz, the lever chronograph module is assembled on the backside of the base movement. This movement has a bi-compax display, with a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and a 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock – no running seconds sub-dial. The date is indicated at 6 o’clock. The unusual crown position, at 9 o’clock at the opposite of the chronograph pushers, is a signature feature of the movement. THE CALIBRE 11 AND ITS EVOLUTIONSLike most movements, the Calibre 11 has been optimized several times over its lifetime. As early as 1969, a barrel spring providing less torque is used. The date jump mechanism is adapted. The sliding pinion is changed and made in steel. In 1971, a variant running at 21,600 vibrations per hour and named Calibre 12 is introduced. It becomes the main product of the calibre family. It uses a stronger barrel spring. The gear train and balance wheel are adapted. The chronograph hammer is modified to improve shock-resistance.The "slide-rule" ChronomatsThe Breitling Chronomat with its rotating slide-rule was patented in 1941 as war raged through Europe and other parts of the world, its design offering a welcome respite from the plethora of military and military-inspired watches of the period. The Chronomat's emphasis on engineering and mathematics, science and industry seemed to offer hope for a future when the war would be over and reconstruction could begin. In 1952, the outstanding usefulness and success of the Chronomat inspired the birth of what has since become the most famous Breitling of all, the Navitimer, a chronograph with the slide-rule redesigned for civil aviation pilots. The Chronomat went on to be produced in many forms including a version of the first automatic chronograph watch in the late 1960s and a quartz non-chronograph during the 1970s. Then in the 1980s it was reborn in a very different form as a pilot's watch and without the slide-rule. This new incarnation was designed with input from Italian military pilots. The Chronomat has remained one of Breitling's most successful watches for over sixty years. Contrary to general belief, it is not the Navitimer but the Chronomat that has in recent years proved to be Breitling's most popular model and biggest seller.1968 - The "big case" ChronomatsA completely new type of case with a patented geared bezel mechanism is developed for the Chronomat (and the Navitimer and Cosmonaute chronographs). The first Chronomat to be released for sale is the manual version, the ref 818. The ref 808 also continues in production and initially the 818 is powered by the Venus 175 like the 808 and the previous ref 769. It is thought that later 1970's examples of the ref 818 have the Valjoux 7733 movement.1969 - The First Automatic ChronographIt is thought the first automatic version of the "big case" Chronomats may have been made available to the public in late 1968, but certainly it is for sale by 1969. The automatic ref 1808 is powered by the newly developed "Chrono-matic" microrotor movement with the crown on the left. Initially this movement is known as the calibre 11 but after a year or so it is slightly altered and called the calibre 12.(credit: Watchuseek)First, What Is A Slide Rule Bezel?The slide rule bezel was adapted from the linear slide rule for the purpose of performing logarithmic calculations on a watch. It consists of a top scale located on the bi-directional bezel along with a bottom scale that appears along the perimeter of the dial. The Tachymeter scale is situated just below the bottom scale and is presented in Kilometers. The circular slide rule includes STAT, KM, and NAUT units to measure standard mileage, kilometers, and nautical miles. The top scale can be adjusted in either direction to perform calculations, such as multiplication and division, against the bottom scale. This is a beauty.

Breitling is one of the few privately-owned Swiss watchmakers left. Since 1884, Breitling has been making precision timepieces but first made its name in the aviation industry. Today, Breitling is easily recognized for its rich history and beautiful engineering and watches like this Breitling Vintage Chronograph Manual Wind remain a holy grail for many collectors.This is a beauty.

Please look at all the pictures, as they are part of the description. The watch is working and keeping good time. Contact me if you have any questions first.Omega Caliber 861/ Lemania 1873 If we are talking about icons, first we will talk about Caliber 321, and then what followed which is iconic caliber 861 which is still being made for Omega in different models. The 861 was very similar to the 321, but replaced its column wheel switching mechanism with a cam and increased the beat rate from 18,000 to 21,600 vibrations per hour. Most Speedmaster Professional watches from 1968 to the present have used variants of this movement, including the modern rhodium-plated caliber 1861 and decorated exhibition calibers 863 and 1863. A standard Speedmaster Professional model with Plexiglas crystal, solid caseback with anti-vibration and anti-magnetic dust cover, tachymeter scale, without date or day complications, and powered by a caliber 861-based movement has been continuously produced since. The tritium-powered phosphorescent lume on the hands and index markers of the original watches were replaced at the end of the 1990s with non-radioactive pigments, but the fundamental design, dimensions, and mechanism of these watches have remained unchanged. In this form, the basic Speedmaster line has remained flight-qualified for NASA space missions and EVAs, after re-evaluation by NASA in 1972 and for use in the Space Shuttle program in 1978. The current such model is reference 311.30.42.30.01.005 (since 2014). WATCH DETAILS Case Gold Plated and Stainless Steel Case Back.

Having a love for complications and complicated watches, makes me love Chronograph watches. At first two register chronograph for simplicity of the dial and providing chronograph functionality for the most. Then the three-register chronograph for the complication of movement and the history of the movements, like of the iconic Omega Ref. 321, Ref. 861 (used in famous moon landing), Zenith El Primero, Venus mostly used in Breitlings, Landeron, and one of the most well-known movement makers Valjoux. With their famous Valjoux 72 put in the vintage Rolex Pre Daytona’s and of course the big dog Patek Philippe reference 2499 using Valjoux 88 my favorite which sold in auction for $3.30 Million in 2018. I also love the Heuer Caliber 11 first micro automatic chronograph movement with date.A Chronograph is simply a watch that combines the function of a stopwatch with a timekeeping display watch, by utilizing an independent sweep second hand. Chronographs often have complications on the face of the watch which can be used to record different time measurements, moon cycles, heart rate and more. Chronographs have usually have a separate buttons to stop, start, and reset (unless it is an monopusher) the stopwatch complication, with the start button typically at the two and four o’clock position.The name Chronograph is derived from the Greek words ‘Chronos’ – the personification of time – and ‘graph’, meaning to write. The first modern Chronograph was created in 1816 by French watchmaker, Louis Moinet. Invented solely for use in union with astrological equipment, Moinet’s Chronograph could measure time accurate to 1/60th of a second – an unrivaled degree of precision at the time of its creation."poor man's" Heu-ers represent an interesting facet of Heu-er's history and also provide a sensible way for individuals to collect these chronographs on a more reasonable budget. The term "Poor Man's Heu-er" only to refer to chronographs manufactured by Heu-er for other brands one of which is Zodiac & Clebar, which is one of my favorite brands. Please note on ebay there are few brands that are not made by Heu-er and still refer to as Poor man which is not true.A lovely and clean example of a circa early 1940s Heuer Reference 2447 chronograph, often referred to as a “Pre-Carrera” since it also have the pump pusher looks just like it. This is the watch that Heuer Carrera was based on. Heuer Carrera's have Reference 2447N (N is letter after) like 2447 NST, S they are also made much later in the 60' .It has bigger case 38mm, plus has rare poly screw case back compare to round snap back and pump pushers, compare to the Heuer Reference 2443 and Reference 345, more expensive. They were made in a variety of sizes and came in 2 or 3 register set-ups, and formed the basis for the iconic Carrera line see ad photo above. This particular example is powered by the legendary Valjoux 72 movement, which was also used in the later Heuer Carrera and Autavia watches, and features an exceedingly rare Techymeter dial, with Arabic numerals 12 and applied markers. The most sought after examples are of the waterproof variety with silver / white dials, like this reference 2447. One of the rarest of the Valjoux 72 version similar to REF. 346, and 350 (both smaller case version). This version Per on the dash - is the Reference 2447; Silver dial, no radium - has a silver / white dial, with applied markers; dauphine hands Tachymeter Scale on dial (60 to 1000). Which the Techymeter version which is rare. The case appears unpolished with normal wear and nice sharp edges. The dial shows some wear and aging with great patina . Watch is running & fully serviced, chronograph starts, counts down, stops, and resets to 12.In a recent OnTheDash article, 'Chasing Grails' by Jeff Stein, this model is considered grail worthy to many. After taking a close look, there is no wonder why.

This timepiece is tested, fully operational, and offered in working vintage condition. ✦ Brief History The Heuer Ref. 2443 was introduced in the early 1940s, well before the iconic Carrera of 1963, and hence is commonly called a “Pre-Carrera.” Powered by the Valjoux 72 — the same movement later used in top-tier chronographs from Heuer, Rolex, and others — the 2443 laid the foundation for Heuer’s later instrumental sports watches. During this era, Heuer focused on industrial-grade tool watches for aviation and motorsport, and the design cues of the 2443 — clean registers, square pushers, angular lugs — carried forward into the Carrera and Autavia families. Other Heuer watches launched along with Heuer 2443 like Heuer 349, Heuer 345, and Heuer 2543, pictured below, plus there variations. Heuer Watch Company Overview Founded in 1860 by Edouard Heuer in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, Heuer quickly established itself as a pioneer in precision timekeeping. The brand’s legacy is deeply rooted in motorsports, aviation, and chronograph innovation. ⏱️ The First Chronograph Breakthrough In 1887, Heuer patented the oscillating pinion, a revolutionary mechanism that simplified the construction of mechanical chronographs. This invention remains a cornerstone in chronograph design and is still used by major Swiss watchmakers today. 🛩️ Dashboard Timers and Aviation By 1911, Heuer introduced the Time of Trip, the first dashboard chronograph for automobiles and aircraft. This innovation laid the groundwork for Heuer’s deep connection to aviation and motorsports. 🏁 Racing Icons: Autavia and Carrera In the 1960s, under the leadership of Jack Heuer, the brand launched the Autavia and Carrera—two of the most iconic racing chronographs ever made. These models were designed for legibility, durability, and precision, quickly becoming favorites among professional drivers. 🎬 Pop Culture Fame: The Monaco In 1969, Heuer released the Monaco, the world’s first automatic chronograph with a square case. It gained legendary status when worn by Steve McQueen in the film Le Mans, cementing Heuer’s place in pop culture. 🔧 TAG Heuer and the Modern Era In 1985, Heuer was acquired by the TAG Group, becoming TAG Heuer. The brand continued to innovate, blending Swiss heritage with avant-garde design. In 1999, it joined the LVMH luxury group, where it remains a leader in high-performance chronographs and connected watches.

The V72 was used in the Daytona Paul Newman and many other high end watches.A lovely and clean example of a circa early 1940s Heuer Reference 2543 chronograph with Triple date complications also known for Tri Compax.The Heuer 2543 was one of the most advanced watches of its time, featuring a complete calendar (month, day, and date) in addition to a chronograph. It is powered by the same Valjoux 72C movement (one of the high complication Valjoux movement other than Valjoux 88 with moonphase) found in the “Jean-Claude Killy” Rolex models that are so highly prized by collectors. This is one of the nicest examples I have seen, with a beautiful blue date track and blue print on the month and day discs. You can clearly see the DNA of the Carrera that would be introduced in 1963 in this model, with the sharp angled lugs that are not quite as bold as the Carrera to follow.This Heuer 2543 Valjoux 72C version similar to REF. 2447, 2548, 2557 and 2558 (lather two are gold version.). This version Per on the dash - Silver (white) dial, with blue printing for day, date and month; comes with sword gold hands. The tip of date hand also painted blue. The case appears unpolished with normal wear and nice sharp edges. The dial shows some wear and aging with great patina. Watch is running, chronograph starts, counts down, stops, and resets to 12.This is a beauty. It is very rare to find a watch this old. Defiantly a collector watch. Please look at all the pictures, as they are part of the description. The watch is working and chronograph fully functions. This is a highly collectible watch. Very few left with this rare movement. Sure, to increase in value overtime, and a great addition to your collection. The condition of the watch is the same as it appears in the photos.

1940's Vintage Heuer 2543 Chronograph Valjoux 72C Triple Date Day Pre-Carrera

Having a love for complications and complicated watches, makes me love Chronograph watches. At first two register chronograph for simplicity of the dial and providing chronograph functionality for the most. Then the three-register chronograph for the complication of movement and the history of the movements, like of the iconic Omega Ref. 321, Ref. 861 (used in famous moon landing), Zenith El Primero, Venus mostly used in Breitlings, Landeron, and one of the most well-known movement makers Valjoux. With their famous Valjoux 72 put in the vintage Rolex Pre Daytona’s and of course the big dog Patek Philippe reference 2499 using Valjoux 88 my favorite which sold in auction for $3.30 Million in 2018. I also love the Heuer Caliber 11 first micro automatic chronograph movement with date.A Chronograph is simply a watch that combines the function of a stopwatch with a timekeeping display watch, by utilizing an independent sweep second hand. Chronographs often have complications on the face of the watch which can be used to record different time measurements, moon cycles, heart rate and more. Chronographs have usually have a separate buttons to stop, start, and reset (unless it is an monopusher) the stopwatch complication, with the start button typically at the two and four o’clock position.The name Chronograph is derived from the Greek words ‘Chronos’ – the personification of time – and ‘graph’, meaning to write. The first modern Chronograph was created in 1816 by French watchmaker, Louis Moinet. Invented solely for use in union with astrological equipment, Moinet’s Chronograph could measure time accurate to 1/60th of a second – an unrivaled degree of precision at the time of its creation."poor man's" Heu-ers represent an interesting facet of Heu-er's history and also provide a sensible way for individuals to collect these chronographs on a more reasonable budget. The term "Poor Man's Heu-er" only to refer to chronographs manufactured by Heu-er for other brands one of which is Zodiac & Clebar, which is one of my favorite brands. Please note on ebay there are few brands that are not made by Heu-er and still refer to as Poor man which is not true.This is a lovely and clean example of a circa early 1940s Heuer Reference 345 chronograph, often referred to as a “Pre-Carrera”. They were made in a variety of sizes and came in 2 or 3 register set-ups, and formed the basis for the iconic Carrera line. This particular example is powered by the legendary Valjoux 71 movement, which was movement prior to our famous Valjoux 72 used in the later Heuer Carrera and Autavia watches, and features blue hands, with Arabic numerals. One of the rare movement were of the Valjoux 71 due to limited production of the movement. plus as the teardrop chronograph pushers which is my favior it. version similar to REF. 346 and 350.

Serviced 1940's Vintage Heuer 345 Big Eye Chronograph Valjoux 71 Pre-Carrera

It was in 1860, when Edouard Heuer established his first workshop in St. Imier, Switzerland. It gave birth to the world's reference of the most reliable and prestigious sports watches. In 1869, Heuer invented and patented the first stem-winding system. In 1911, Heuer launched his first dashboard chronograph developed for automobiles called "Time of Trip". Five years later, Heuer patented Micrograph, the world's first wristwatch with chronometer function, capable of measuring 1/100th of a second. In 1920, for the first time, the company officially time-kept the Olympic Games competitions. In 1933, Heuer introduced the Autavia, the dashboard timer used for automobiles and airplanes. Afterwards, the Monte Carlo and the Master-Time were launched. In the 1950-70s, Heuer timepieces were utterly popular in auto sport. They are one of the inventors of chronograph and racing watch. The Autavia chronograph was launched in 1962. Two years later, after Juan Manuel Fangio's triumph during the "Carrera Panamericana Mexico" races, Jack Heuer launched Carrera chronograph watch paying tribute to this excellent race car driver from Argentina. Due to its exceptional success, the Carrera chrono converted into the company's icon. Again, in 1966, the Heuer company confirmed its status of pioneer in time measuring by manufacturing the world's first chronograph, capable to measure the 1/1000th of a second. In 1971, the Heuer Monaco watch became highly famous after Steve McQueen wore it in a movie "Le Mans". That line was called "Steve McQueen Monaco Edition". The TAG Group Holdings SA bought the Heuer company and became TAG Heuer in 1985. Monopusher movements are much harder to make. This is a very old Heuer style one pusher (monopusher chronograph, Reference 2403. The Heuer chronograph was included in an offer to the Romanian Military Aviation Authority made by Mr. Josef Schneider, the Romanian Heuer agent in the 1930s, which is very similar to the Heuer Reference 351 M TT.Mr. Schneider made an offer for several different Heuer and other makers' chronographs to the Romanian Military. Among them was ref. number, the 351 C/B and Ref. 2403. This is very similar to the old Heuer has a porcelain dial. Per classicheuers.blogspot.com the movement is a Landron Hahn Lever L13. Some have stated the possibility of an early version of Valjoux 22, also referred to by some as Valjoux 13 or Valjoux GH. Clearly, this is a Monopushers Chronograph Heuer watch, which is a very rare watch and was not made in quantities, and Minerva was also a famous maker of this movement.Heuer has a rich history of tool-watch production. Whether it was stopwatches or chronographs, the Swiss brand knows a thing or two about timing events, particularly of the sporting variety. This 1930s monopusher (sometimes called a single-button chronograph) with a black dial is an interesting and rare watch. It features a glossy black dial as well as engine-turned sub-dials that line up nicely with the central axis of the hands, giving it a very balanced aesthetic. The pusher at two o'clock starts and resets the chronograph, while time is set traditionally via the crown at three o'clock. The rationale behind this is that the operator can restart faster, one can check the elapsed time, and quickly reset. This is a beauty. It is extremely rare to find one of the first series Heuer MonoPusher Chronograph Reference 2403, and very similar to Reference 351, which were both made in the 1930s, based on the reference end of 1935 to 1936, but it is an estimate. Per my understanding, most chronograph watches made in that era were used one way or another by the military and in World War II. Per what was told to me, this can even be a Heuer preceding the Reference 351 model. This made for an avid collector, given that only a few were made with Fancy Lugs, aka Art Deco Fancy Lugs, and this is a well-surviving watch. Please look at all the pictures, as they are part of the description. The watch is working and was serviced by the last owner.

Circa 1970's The history of the Calibre 11Starts at the end of 1965. As Büren had pioneered the production of micro-rotor movements, Gérald Dubois (of Dépraz & Co., a chronograph specialist) figured out that these would be thin enough to be the base for a modular chronograph movement. Dubois contacts Hans Kocher of Büren Watch Co. SA. In need of commercial partners, they manage to convince first Jack Heuer and then Willy Breitling to support the project. On February 2nd, 1966, an agreement is signed. The four-party Chronomatic consortium is born, including two rival brands teaming up to develop their own automatic chronograph. For confidentiality purposes, the development is code-named Project 99. The convention signed on February 2, 1966, between Dépraz & Co., Heuer-Léonidas SA and Léon Breitling SA. The partners asked Büren Watch Co. to build the blanks and the automatic movement of an automatic chronograph, the basic execution of which is designated by calibre No. 111. They have an exclusive right to use this calibre. They plan to have Dépraz develop and manufacture the chronograph mechanism to equip this calibre.Büren is in charge of the base calibre. Dépraz of the chronograph mechanism. Three brands – Heuer, Breitling and Hamilton (who acquired Buren during the development process) – will fit the movement inside their watches. A patent application for the Calibre 11 is filed in September 1967. At the end of 1968, about 100 pre-production movements are assembled in prevision of the 1969 Basel fair. On March 3rd 1969, the movement is officially presented, simultaneously in New York and Geneva. A month later, the three brands present their first chronographs at the 1969 Basel fair. With the practicality and comfort of automatic winding, the chronograph becomes a staple of motorsport… the Calibre 11 is used to power iconic watches by Heuer (Carrera, Monaco, Autavia), Breitling (Chrono-Matic) and Hamilton (Fontainebleau). And later by other brands such as Bulova, Kelek, Zodiac, Elgin, Stowa…So, who won the race?Zenith’s automatic chronograph was the first to be unveiled to the world. It was presented during a press conference in January 1969 and christened El Primero (“the first” in Spanish). The reality is a bit more complex. There are endless debates about which was the first automatic chronograph, as both the Seiko and the Chronomatic movements were announced later the same year. What’s more, El Primero was not the first to hit the market. But the controversy about who came first doesn’t really matter anymore… what is important is the impact that these movements had on watchmaking history. Since then, the automatic chronograph has remained one of the most popular complications.THE CALIBRE 11The Calibre 11 is a 17-jewel modular chronograph measuring 31mm x 7.7mm. This modular architecture implies first a base movement, a micro-rotor automatic calibre made by Büren, in charge of the timekeeping part. Beating at 19,800 vibrations per hour, it boasted 42 hours of power reserve. Manufactured by Dépraz, the lever chronograph module is assembled on the backside of the base movement. This movement has a bi-compax display, with a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and a 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock – no running seconds sub-dial. The date is indicated at 6 o’clock. The unusual crown position, at 9 o’clock at the opposite of the chronograph pushers, is a signature feature of the movement.THE CALIBRE 11 AND ITS EVOLUTIONSLike most movements, the Calibre 11 has been optimized several times over its lifetime. As early as 1969, a barrel spring providing less torque is used. The date jump mechanism is adapted. The sliding pinion is changed and made in steel. In 1971, a variant running at 21,600 vibrations per hour and named Calibre 12 is introduced. It becomes the main product of the calibre family. It uses a stronger barrel spring. The gear train and balance wheel are adapted. The chronograph hammer is modified to improve shock-resistance.

On February 2nd, 1966, an agreement is signed. The four-party Chronomatic consortium is born, including two rival brands teaming up to develop their own automatic chronograph. For confidentiality purposes, the development is code-named Project 99. The convention signed on February 2, 1966, between Dépraz & Co., Heuer-Léonidas SA and Léon Breitling SA. The partners asked Büren Watch Co. to build the blanks and the automatic movement of an automatic chronograph, the basic execution of which is designated by calibre No. 111. They have an exclusive right to use this calibre. They plan to have Dépraz develop and manufacture the chronograph mechanism to equip this calibre.Büren is in charge of the base calibre. Dépraz of the chronograph mechanism. Three brands – Heuer, Breitling and Hamilton (who acquired Buren during the development process) – will fit the movement inside their watches. A patent application for the Calibre 11 is filed in September 1967. At the end of 1968, about 100 pre-production movements are assembled in prevision of the 1969 Basel fair. On March 3rd 1969, the movement is officially presented, simultaneously in New York and Geneva. A month later, the three brands present their first chronographs at the 1969 Basel fair. With the practicality and comfort of automatic winding, the chronograph becomes a staple of motorsport… the Calibre 11 is used to power iconic watches by Heuer (Carrera, Monaco, Autavia), Breitling (Chrono-Matic) and Hamilton (Fontainebleau). And later by other brands such as Bulova, Kelek, Zodiac, Elgin, Stowa… So, who won the race?Zenith’s automatic chronograph was the first to be unveiled to the world. It was presented during a press conference in January 1969 and christened El Primero (“the first” in Spanish). The reality is a bit more complex. There are endless debates about which was the first automatic chronograph, as both the Seiko and the Chronomatic movements were announced later the same year. What’s more, El Primero was not the first to hit the market. But the controversy about who came first doesn’t really matter anymore… what is important is the impact that these movements had on watchmaking history. Since then, the automatic chronograph has remained one of the most popular complications.THE CALIBRE 11The Calibre 11 is a 17-jewel modular chronograph measuring 31mm x 7.7mm. This modular architecture implies first a base movement, a micro-rotor automatic calibre made by Büren, in charge of the timekeeping part. Beating at 19,800 vibrations per hour, it boasted 42 hours of power reserve. Manufactured by Dépraz, the lever chronograph module is assembled on the backside of the base movement. This movement has a bi-compax display, with a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and a 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock – no running seconds sub-dial. The date is indicated at 6 o’clock. The unusual crown position, at 9 o’clock at the opposite of the chronograph pushers, is a signature feature of the movement. THE CALIBRE 11 AND ITS EVOLUTIONSLike most movements, the Calibre 11 has been optimized several times over its lifetime. As early as 1969, a barrel spring providing less torque is used. The date jump mechanism is adapted. The sliding pinion is changed and made in steel. In 1971, a variant running at 21,600 vibrations per hour and named Calibre 12 is introduced. It becomes the main product of the calibre family. It uses a stronger barrel spring. The gear train and balance wheel are adapted. The chronograph hammer is modified to improve shock-resistance.

The history of the Calibre 11Starts at the end of 1965.

Hamilton Watches

Most Rolex watches produced today use the brand’s Oyster case which embodies years of development that started with the original Rolex Oyster watch from 1926. At the time Rolex pioneered the first ever watch case with screw down crown, bezel, and caseback that offered water resistance and dust protection, though it was not until 1953 that the Professional Collection was born.The idea of the Rolex Oyster Professional today is the perpetuation of timepiece models that were originally intended for professional use. That included watches for people engaged in diving, flying, automotive and sport racing, science and industrial work, as well as general planetary exploration. Rolex Oyster Professional watches by nature are more durable and utilitarian in design, and they also have in many instances additional production or testing steps added to their manufacture before they leave Rolex and go out to the consumer. So in short, a Rolex Oyster Professional watch today is one that is based on a historic model meant for actual professional use and is produced with some extra safety and reliability features compared to Rolex’s more casual or dress models.This is a beauty.

The Rolex Cellini 4243 isn’t everyone’s everyday watch; and it’s certainly does not have to be. This incredible timepiece is meant to accompany you to black tie events, cocktail parties and date night. The smooth, curvy case against a leather strap provides the inherently classy, elevated aesthetic you need to tie your look together. The Cellini itself is an important piece of the Rolex collection, being the timepiece of high standards for timekeeping while encapsulating the heritage of watchmaking itself. Let’s just say the Cellini is your stealth Rolex. Little fact that President Barack Obama was a Cellini man, might get you excited. What’s beautiful about this watch is the pure simplicity and elegance of it, and that starts with the silver face. Reflecting light and mimicking the cool, curvaceous feel of the case, the face is polished and clean. The luminous baton index hour markers outlined in white gold reach out to the center, curved, rectangular minute-markers hugging the inner bezel. But what your eye follows around the face are the tapered sweeping hands, swinging past the cursive Cellini inscribed above 6-o’clock and the boxy Rolex logo at the top. This is a beautiful, classic timepiece that is very comfortable to wear and easily fits under shirt cuffs. Rolex holds its value better than any other watch brand. It is very rare to find a watch this old with original box. Defiantly a collector watch. Please look at all the pictures, as they are part of the description.
