FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS A SEXY EARLY 1960s HELBROS/LEJOUR LANDERON 248 17J CHRONOGRAPH IN SUPER CLEAN CONDITION WITH GORGEOUS VINTAGE BRICK BRACELET.
-
CASE: CLASSY CHROMED CASE IN PHENOMENAL CONDITION. SHE MEASURES A LARGE 37 NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY A LONG 44mm LUG TO LUG. THE CASE ON THIS ONE IS IN CRAZY NICE SHAPE WITH NO WEAR THROUGH IN THE CHROME. THE LUGS AND CASE LOOK REALLY SHARP AND ARE IN FANTASTIC UNPOLISHED SHAPE. A SUPER CLASSIC CHRONO CASE WHICH WEARS NICE AND LARGE.

DIAL: WHAT A LOOKER!!! THIS GORGEOUS MINTY GLOSS BLACK DIAL IS AN ABSOLUTE BEAUTY. I JUST LOVE THOSE SEXY APPLIED ARABIC NUMERALS WHICH CATCH THE SUN AND SPARKLE WHEN VIEWED FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES. I LOVE THOSE PRISTINE SILVER SUBDIALS WITH CONCENTRIC CIRCLES WHICH PERFECT THAT REVERSE PANDA LOOK. DIAL HAS GREAT DETAIL WITH THAT INTRICATE TELEMETRE SCALE AND THOSE INTACT APPLIED LUME PLOTS WHICH MATCH THE AGED TONE OF THAT ON THOSE STEEL STICK HANDS. THIS DIAL REALLY IS QUITE THE LOOKER.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS HELBROS IS POWERED BY THE VENERABLE LANDERON 248 TICKING UNDER THE HOOD. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING TIME. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN, BUT THIS CLASSIC HAS BEEN BEHAVING SPECTACULARLY OVER A WEEK OF ON/OFF WRIST OBSERVATION.
THIS DRESSY CHRONOGRAPH IS MOUNTED ON A VINTAGE PERIOD APPROPRIATE STAINLESS STEEL BRICK/BEAD BRACELET WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT WAS MADE FOR THIS WATCH AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIT UP TO A 7.75" WRIST. THIS HELBROS CHRONOGRAPH WAS ASSEMBLED AND CASED BY LEJOUR HENCE THE SIGNED MOVEMENT AND CASEBACK. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS ONE. THIS IS A COLLECTORS GRADE CHRONOGRAPH IN STUNNING CONDITION WHICH REALLY COMES TO LIFE ON THE WRIST.
