Other: This is a rare opportunity to own a high-quality vintage Gallet MultiChron 12HR chronograph at this price point. Gallet watches in this condition are getting really difficult to find... We love these larger 37mm "waterproof" models (especially when they're sharp and unpolished like this). As you can see, this watch looks absolutely killer on the wrist! The three-color blue/red/black printing remains bright and vibrant to quickly delineate the tachymeter, telemeter, and minute tracks. The original Gallet green lume is unique and looks awesome. Lately we have been getting more requests for Gallet chronographs than any other brand. If you look through old Gallet catalogs, it's easy to understand why... They made so many incredible special-use chronographs and were way ahead of other brands in terms of new developments and timeless design. As an added bonus, the in-house Excelsior Park cal. 40-68 movement has been completely overhauled by our watchmaker with a new domed acrylic crystal and gaskets installed at the time of service. The EP40-68 is a super high-grade calibre with a lot of interesting design aspects including column-wheel activation for silky-smooth pusher feel.
