    For Sale I have here my circa late 60's Almadia Chronographe Suisse, head only, in excellent condition.

    The handsome 37mm stainless steel case appears to have never been polished, and is in fantastic condition. The dial, with it's raised, applied gold indices, and subtle red and blue accents in the hands and outer track is a real eye-catcher.

    Domed acrylic crystal is unblemished.

    A clean and beautiful manual-wind Landeron caliber 51 (http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?11&ranfft&&2uswk&Landeron_51) is running and keeping good time within. The chrono starts, stops, and resets nicely. I am not aware of service history, so if it is to be worn with any frequency, I highly recommend one for health of the movement moving forward.

    Please look at all pictures, as they are an integral part of the description.

    The alligator strap is not included, but if you absolutely must have it, let me know, and we might be able to work something out.

    Buyer has three days inspection, and the watch is only returnable if it is not as described here. Return must be made with the watch in absolutely the same condition in which it was received.

    The sale includes continental US shipping and tracking. Payment can be wired or bank transferred, i.e. wire, Zelle, other. PayPal is also possible.

    Thanks for looking! Please send me a PM if you need answers to questions, further pictures, or if you’re ready to buy the watch.

    This one looks smashing in the evening light. Applied indices are truly a virtue:
