·Hi guys!
For your consideration, a really rare watch. For sale for this community this rare Guinand chronograph, for sure one of the rarest chronographs for the Italian army.
These watches were used during the late 50s for military topographers and artillery officials, not to soldiers. So there were only few hundreds of them at that time. Now it's quite rare to find it one, expecially in good condition, like this one.
Stainless steel case is 36mm wide excluding crown, and it's untouched, with normal signs of use. Crown is original. Little pushers are original to this reference and make this watch even cooler, if possible. On the screw back you can appreciate his military engravings: E.I. means "Esercito Italiano" (Italian Army) and for this specific model assignment numbers always are between 2000 and 3000.
Light grey soleil dial is in great shape, with lume dots still visible, and without any major scratch. Movement is fully working; last service is unknown. Of course dial is original, never reprinted. Lume on hands and dial is original. Blue scale is just the cherry on the cake.
Attatched with it I'll add a brand new italian leather strap from the brand "SMU", a small brand of straps that I'm building with a friend of mine (you can see more here).
This is for sure the last Italian Army chronograph still available at a more than fair price. It's nice and rare, and full of history. For it I am asking 1600€ plus worldwide shipment.
Me and watches are located in Italy. I have tons of feedback to provide if needed.
Thank you guys, thank you OF
