·That's a really nice Chronostop - I'm getting ever more interested in acquiring one of these and I see that the best seem to be the Seamaster models.

·It probably dates to late 60's, maybe even around 1969 and likely has a Valjoux 7733. 36mm w/out crown. It would be the manual version to the Cal. 11 automatic (pictured below). Some call these "Poor Man's Heuer's" due to their appearance to the early Carrera's. A true "Poor Man's Heuer" would have come directly from a Heuer factory, like many Zodiac's and Sears "Tradition" brands that actually have Heuer model numbers, and even etchings. There is also a reverse panda version of the Hamilton watch you asked about. During the time of this watch, Hamilton would have been in Lancaster, PA and I believe became part of Buren.
Here is the Cal. 11 automatic version.
Super cool.
I too really liked the Hamilton Chronographs but couldnt find one in good condition. I was lucky enough to find the next best thing.

·Don't think there's any rare ones amongst these. But I've loved owning all of them.Some have since moved on to pastures new.

··Pratts! Will I B******S!!!I've not seen many of these around, even here on OF where it often seems there is one of everything - '60s LIP two-register chrono. Lip is a French market brand that had quite a long history of innovation and design before it faded in the mid-70s (though since revived). They produced perhaps the first electric watch in the early 50s. The original leather strap with checkered racing strip is de la bombe! 😎

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.So I have had this for a week now. M I've posted this all over the place on OF but I love the dammed thing and why not here as well. Why unusual? Because this was made for a customer and I got the extra dial after seeing the watch (and falling in love) on RGM Facebook page. Model 455 with custom Grand Feu dial. Valjoux 7753 movement. Blued hands.
