I haven't seen another of these, is it correct for a Marine Chronometer (which is what I received in it) please, and if not any idea which watch(es) came in it?

 

Nice box, never seen it before..

 

Nice box. Only seen them in red

 

The MC is ultra rare... we have an expert on those somewhere...

It might be a rare original box, the MC was extremely expensive and top of the line back then. There appear to be 50-60's blue boxes with accuracy awards so there might be a link.

I have no idea but it looks lovely

 

I think that this box is original with the Marine Chronometer, nice catch, very rare set

 

Thank you all for your replies! The watch is lovely and also came with original Besançon paperwork and wallet and has been serviced by STS. I haven't been wearing it much and was talking to someone about selling it. At least I know the box is part of the set. Any idea on value please? We were discussing around the £2,000 mark.



I sold off a bunch of my Omegas (really nice Stardust MQ, Electroquartz, Chrono-Quartz and 176.005) because I wasn't wearing them and I was thinking I'd keep the MC because I like it so much. I used some of the money from the watch sales to buy stuff I've wanted for some time (911 Flightmaster, X33 Skywalker, Speedy 125 and a Hi-Beat Grand Seiko) but by selling the MC I will have some funds to buy a 910 Flightmaster, or it would be half of what it will cost to buy back my old PloProf. Decisions decisions!
