    This Orator diving chronograph was produced in 1967 and measures 39mm. It was a watch brand owned by A. Schild & co, that produced watches under names such as Aqua Lung.
    The watch was serviced about a year ago and the watch functions well. The bezel can of course be turned and the chronograph functions and resets well.
    There is some lettering at the bottom of the dial that has lost its paint.
    Overall a very rare and attractive watch. Some signs of use, but in decent condition given the age.

    I am based in the Netherlands, asking price is €975,- -> decreased to €775,-

    Some information about the movement (perhaps with photos) could potentially help with the sale.

    Excellent point!

    The movement is a landeron 187, with some pictures (including pictures during the service).

    I like the date wheel. Subtle. Took me a while to figure out why there was a date wheel in the dissasembled trays. One does not see to many of these chronos with date complications.

    If I did not already have nine landerons ...

    I’m assuming this was Landeron’s answer to the 7734
