40's Certina Chrono - Any information?

donkii · Oct 3, 2015

I came across this piece and really like it. But I can't find anything like it.. It's from around 1940's and the owner states it has a Venus 178 but that can't be correct since the 178 is a 3 sub dial movement. The look of the dial makes me think it has a Excelsior Park movement. Do you guys have any suggestions? 😀

Thanks.

Here's the 3-reg variant

May have venus 178 inside, but of that I'm not sure

Your's may well house an EP4-movement, even if I can't say that for sure either.....

Nice watches both of them anyhow! Certina did make some collectible models. These are two of them IMO

I certainly agree it looks like a Certina-branded Ex Park - dial, case, pusher spacing, handset all suggest Ex Park.
