COMING AT YOU IS THIS MEGA RAD LATE 60s DUVAL RALLYE CHRONOGRAPH RUNNING ON A VALJOUX 7733 WITH A STUNNING REVERSE PANDA DIAL.
-
CASE: HEFTY SOLID STEEL CASE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THIS BEAUTY MEASURES A LARGE 37.25mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 40.5mm LUG TO LUG. I LOVE THE SHARP LUGS AND THE EDGY DESIGN ON THIS BEAUTY. REALLY NICE PRESERVED SATIN FINISH ON THE CASE TOP. THIS ONE WEARS REALLY LARGE DUE TO THAT SUPER THIN BEZEL AND WIDE DIAL WHICH GIVES THIS ONE A SOLID WRIST PRESENCE.
-
DIAL: WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY DROP DEAD GORGEOUS DIAL. YOU'VE GOT YOUR SLIGHTLY SUNKEN CREME WHITE SUBDIALS WHICH POP AGAINST THAT MATTE BLACK BACKGROUND. I LOVE THE LEVEL OF LEGIBILITY WITH THE BLACK PRINT AND HANDS IN THE SUBDIALS. BUT, IT'S REALLY ALL ABOUT THAT RALLYE CHECKERBOARD TREATMENT ON THE MINUTE TRACK WHICH GIVES THIS A REAL SEXY LOOK. I LOVE THE SUBTLE POPS OF RED ON THE MINUTE MARKERS AND ON THOSE WHITE STICK HANDS. A SERIOUS BADASS DIAL RIGHT HERE.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS GUY IS POWERED BY A GILTED SWISS VALJOUX 7733 DUVAL SIGNED CHRONO MOVEMENT. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THIS ONE WAS SERVICED WITHIN THE LAST FEW YEARS.
- THIS SPORTY CHRONO IS MOUNTED ON A 20mm BIG HOLE RALLYE STRAP WITH RED STITCHING WHICH MATCHES NICELY WITH THE DIAL. DUVAL MADE SOME SUPER COOL CHRONOS AND DIVERS BACK IN THE DAY OFTEN USING THE BEST MOVEMENTS AND CASES THAT SWITZERLAND HAD TO OFFER. THIS ONE WEARS AMAZING AND IS A GREAT EVERYDAY PIECE WHICH CAN BE WORN ON THE RACING TRACK OR SLIPPED UNDER A CUFF FOR A NIGHT AT THE ROULETTE TABLE.
