I managed to score this rare and beautiful 40s Angelus Chronodato through a trade. The dial which originally was gray has aged to a nice olive green color which matches well with the color of the radium hands. The stailess steel case is crisp and in very nice condition. Watch runs well and keeps good time. Its also fairly large at around 39 mm. Another great addition to my collection.

 

so cool congrats

 

Lovely piece, in very honest vintage conditions. Congrats!

 

That is just wild looking. Congrats!

 

Would anyone know the language used in the day window? Thanks.

Many thanks.

 

1940's Chronodatos are the best Chronodatos

 

Congrats! Cool looking piece. I have a Chronodato that I am slowly brining back to form.

I have to find a 45-min register hand. The one missing part - they are not easy to find!

 

great catch, huge congrats and wear in good health

 

congrats! Imho, the most beautiful dial variant of the Chronodatos!

But the chrono hand seems to be a replacement.

 

I saw one last week in person - similar patina, that had a more tropical-ish dial. Was very attractive. I think tmr whole thing - the fonts used, the dial configuration, the dial patina and hands, really makes these chronodatos stand out.

 

What a lovely watch. Congrats!

Agree about the chrono hand, but still very nice.

 

The dial is very mellow, nice!

 

Would you have a photo of the correct chrono hands so I know what to look for? Thanks.

 

sure:
