WITTNAUER GENÈVE PROFESSIONAL
Ref: 242T
Year: 1960s
Cal: Valjoux 72, manual winding
Case: St. Steel 38.x12.75 and 20 mm lugs
Dial: Black on black triple counter 30min. 12hr. & 60 sec. Tritium plots, Lollipop hand, 1/100th minute scale
Brac: Original JP Champion Stainless Steel and W clasp.
The Wittnauer Genève Professional is, as often mentioned, to be one of five NASA tested Chronographs. True or not, it is a very attractive mid sized Chronograph that was advertised as an all-around for technical use to engineers, scientists, doctors or sportsman. It is in original condition, except the hour & minute hands that were extremely delicate and mostly lost their thick tritium over the years. The dial is in overall very nice condition with a small spot at the 10 decimal mark. The Case remains unpolished with sharp lugs and original signed W crown. A nice addition is the rare JB Champion Stainless Steel bracelet. The crystal is replaced and the movement is working and resetting accurately. Supplied with the original Wittnauer-Longines product box.
