For sale is this 19 40s vintage A risto military pilot ’s chronograph wrist watch. Imported for the North American market . I love the beautiful original dial with the red spiral and blue outer tachymeter scales .
This handsome military aviators chronograph is in excellent cosmetic condition. The ca se looks like it has been replated at some point. So the overall wear is fairly light. Engraving on the all stainless steel case back shows a date of “1942”. The dial shows patina and some paint loss especially above the five hour marker. The heart of this complicated watch is a Swiss made, Venus caliber 170 mechanical movement. It is running strong and all chronograph functions work perfectly but the hour and minute hands are not tracking well and do not keep time. Must be a lose canon pinion that will need to be adjusted or replaced .
It’s fitted with a n older b rown leather 18 mm lizard grain band with silver buckle that accents this watch perfectly. Let me know if you have any questions. Keep time the vintage way!!
Please note: meant to say “loose” not “lose” canon pinion...
