Description

HERE IS A EXTREMELY RARE ROMANIAN MILITARY ARMY OFFICERS CHRONOGRAPH. THIS HAS A BEAUTIFUL DIAL WITH A LITTLE HAIRLINE BY THE 2 POSITION AND A SMALL REPAIR UNDER THE BEZEL THAT CANNOT BE SEEN NEAR THE SAME POSITION.IT IS SAID THAT THE ROMANIAN ARMY PURCHASED 2200 OF THESE BACK IN THE EARLY 1940s. IT RUNS GREAT AND ALL FUNCTIONS ARE WORKING PROPERLY. THE WATCH IS 50MM IN DIAMETER. THE TRUSTY NAME COMES FROM GERMANY AND IS SCHWOB & FRERES BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT COMPANY. I HAVE ALSO FOUND THAT THE MOVEMENT WAS MADE BY EDWARD HEUER.YOU MAY TRY TO DO SOME RESEARCH. THE HAND BY THE 12 OCLOCK POSITION FLYS BACK AS DOES THE LARGE SECOND HAND WHEN THE BUTTON ON TOP OF THE CROWN IS PUSHED. THIS WATCH IS PIN SET. THE BOW IS TIGHT ON THIS WATCH. ONE PERSON WHO HAS BEEN A COLLECTOR OF CHRONOGRAPHS FOR 50 SOME YEARS SAID HE KNEW OF THIS WATCH BUT HAD NEVER SEEN ONE.
