    Dear all,

    I'm doing a bit of a cleaning in the box as I have too many watches I don't wear at all. One of them is this nice little vintage mystery dial Bovet/Helbros. The case is about 34mm+ wide and 40.2mm lug end to lug end. It is chromed with a steel back but it's in a rather good condition - for a chrome watch. The case back says Bovet Freres and Co. SA, which refers to the case manufacturer.

    The movement inside it is a manual wind bi-compax chronograph caliber by Helbros. It is a 17-Jewel movement that works and keeps time. Chrono starts, stops, resets but I don't know the service history

    The dial has no branding at all. Very similar to the none branded British/Australian/Canadian military watches. The dial is white with no blemishes on it really. It could probably use a cleaning but that's it. The beautiful blued steel hands still have the original tritium (I'm assuming) which glows as it should when lit with a blacklight.

    The watch comes on a croc grain dark brown leather strap.

    I'd like to get €550 for the watch PayPal (as friends and family or we split the fees) or Bank transfer to my account. If you have any questions please don't hesitate. Thank you for reading.
