That wittnauer / venus 188 of yours is one of my favorite watches. It's really a top chronograph, IMO.
Also fascinating to me that the red paint has stayed so red over so many years. Red is notorious for "giving up the color"...for example: think of how many nice older red cars you see...hardly any - the paint always looks washed out, right? Even garage kept.
They must have used some super powerful lead based pigments for that dial lmao
