FRESH OFF THE BACK OF THE TRUCK IS THIS OUTSTANDING IAXA VALJOUX 7733 CHRONO FROM THE LATE 60s WITH BIG EYE SUBDIAL AND PROPELLER RUNNING SECONDS.
- CASE: SHARP SOLID STEEL TONNEAU CASE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS IS A SIMILAR CASE TO THAT USED BY HEUER, BULOVA, AND ZODIAC IN THEIR RALLYE CHRONOS AND MEASURES A NICE 36mm NOT INCLUDING CROWN. THIS ONE WEARS SUPER SPORTY.
- DIAL: THIS FACE IS PURE LATE 60s WEIRDNESS WITH THAT BIG EYE MINUTE TOTALIZER IN WHITE. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE RED PROPELLER RUNNING SECONDS HAND WHICH HAS SOME AQUASTAR DEEP-STAR VIBES. CHECKOUT THAT GROOVY TACHY SCALE IN WHITE WHICH MATCHES NICELY WITH THAT STICK HANDSET.
- MOVEMENT: THIS CHRONO IS POWERED BY A 17J VALJOUX 7733 TICKING UNDER THE HOOD. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING TIME. SERVICE HISTORY IS UKNOWN BUT HAS BEEN BEHAVING PERFECTLY FOR WEEKS OF ON/OFF WRIST OBSERVATION.
- THIS SPORTY FELLA IS MOUNTED ON A PERFORATED LEATHER RALLY STRAP WHICH LOOKS THE BUSINESS. IAXA WAS A BELGIAN WATCH COMPANY WHICH USED THE BEST IN SWISS MOVEMENTS, CASES AND DIALS. THIS ONE JUST OOZES MACHISMO. WHAT A FANTASTIC SUMMER CHRONO. YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT!!
