Helbros Venus 170 Up-Down Chronograph - Fabulous Black Dial Two-tone Gold Tracks

X350 XJR · Aug 27, 2020

Striking glossy black dial with yellow and rose gold tracks in beautiful condition showing only some slight marks.

Chrome/rhodium plated case with flat pushers and stainless steel snap back.

Venus caliber 170 movement is nice and clean and sets smoothly but it is wound tight, the balance staff is OK, but it is not currently running. It ran and functioned correctly when I purchased it years ago.

Size: 32mm excluding crown x 38-mm.

$225.00, worldwide shipping, cost by location. Payment to be discussed.

Sorry, all sales final unless grossly misrepresented.

I don't want to be that guy, but I don't understand why this one wasn't bought up within the first day. Most watchmakers can handle any issues the movement has. Helbros is a well known and regarded company. The dial alone is worth the asking price. And a 60 minute column wheel chrono is something that doesn't pop up too often. If my watchmaker wasn't in Montreal for an indefinite stay I'd be watching the mailbox waiting for the package from @X350 XJR.

Yes she is a stunner ain't she? A few days is understandable as not everyone checks the sales section every day, but I bet it will be gone by this weekend.

I feel the same way. I was a heartbeat from just sending Norman the money but then thought about the 3 40's chrono's that I already have at my watchmaker's, which have driven him to drink heavily, and throwing this on top would have made him go over the edge.

Yes I’m glad it’s gone I’ve been looking at it everyday. That dial was pristine and I don’t have anything like it. I have a pending deal for a watch I’ve been waiting on, just a vintage seiko but it has stopped me from getting a few things. I’m constantly working with clients on budgeting their needs vs wants. If they saw what I do with watches they would probably all tell me to stfu, take my advice, I’m not using it.
