Other: Here at watchsteez.com, we take great pride in sourcing honest and original examples like this gorgeous Wakmann triple calendar chronograph. We absolutely love this particular model and believe that it is one of the most underrated and under-priced vintage chronographs on the market today. It houses a high-grade movement based on the legendary Valjoux 72, but with triple calendar functions and a higher beat rate (21,600 BPH) for improved accuracy. It's would be extremely difficult to find a better watch for under $3,000!
