Hello all, Up for sale is this great Auricoste type 20 French military issued fly back dual register chronograph from1954 . The original dial in dual register configuration is excellent. It has turned to a beautiful dark chocolate colour. The radium markers barely glow. Hands are might have been replaced during one of its numerous services during its "career" as each FG engraving indicates a service/overhaul as per requirement of the ministry of defence. First FG engraving is faint and dates from 1961. Last FG engraving is 1980. It was decommissioned shortly after I suspect. The chromium covered brass case is very good. The crown is original based on my research. The engravings on the case back are sharp and clearly visible except for the first 1961 FG. Thie serial number issue number are extremely crisp. The watch was serviced last year by Shane Ede in Toronto. The watch keeps excellent time and the Lemania 2040 caliber with fly back complication and all other functions are crisp and work as intended.
