FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS THIS NEW OLD STOCK LEJOUR RALLYE CHRONOGRAPH WITH A SINGER DIAL AND SMOOTH RUNNING VALJOUX 7765.
-
CASE: MINTY AND STREAMLINED CHROMED C-SHAPE CASE IN UNSPOILED CONDITION. THE MIRRORED FINISH IS IMPECCABLE WITH SOME FAINT DRAWER MARKS . THIS SPORTY GUY MEASURES A NICE 36.2 ACROSS CASE NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL CROWN BY 43mm LUG TO LUG. SUCH A SHARP AND NO-BULLSHIT DESIGN WHICH WEARS COMFORTABLY. THE LINES AND EDGES ARE IN RAZOR SHARP FACTORY CONDITION. IT'S A RARE TREAT TO HANDLE A WATCH IN SUCH CONDITION
-
DIAL: THIS MINT CONDITION RACY SINGER DIAL IS A PIECE OF ART. CHECK OUT THAT VERTICAL BRUSHED METALLIC SILVER DIAL WHICH JUST RADIATES COOL. SO BRILLIANT. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THOSE BLUE SUBDIALS WITH THAT TRADE-MARK SINGER DAYTONA FONT AND LAYOUT. SUCH AN ICONIC 70s CHRONO DESIGN . I JUST LOVE THOSE MINTY THIN STICK WHITE HANDS AND THAT VIBRANT ORANGE CHRONO SECONDS SWEEPER. THIS IS THE PERFECT BALANCE BETWEEN UNDERSTATED CLASSINESS AND 70s FUNK.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS LEJOUR IS POWERED BY A HIGH BEAT VALJOUX 7765 WHICH BEATS AT A SPEEDY 28800 BPH VERSUS THE SLOWER 18000 BPH RATE OF MANY OF ITS CONTEMPORARIES. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN, BUT WATCH HAS BEEN BEHAVING AMAZINGLY OVER WEEKS OF ON/OFF WRIST OBSERVATION.
- THIS LEJOUR IS MOUNTED ON A VINTAGE PERFORATED RALLYE STRAP WHICH COULDN'T BE A BETTER MATCH FOR THIS RACER. THE FRENCH BASED WATCHMAKER, LEJOUR, HAS GAINED A CULT STATUS IN THE LAST FEW YEARS DUE TO THEIR SPORTY DIVER, MILITARY, AND RACING STYLE 70s CHRONOGRAPHS WHICH OFTEN SHARED THE SAME CASE AND DIAL DESIGNS OF HEUERS OF THE SAME ERA. IT'S NOT OFTEN YOU FIND SUCH A STYLISH AND BOLD CHRONOGRAPH IN THIS TYPE OF UNTOUCHED CONDITION. THIS IS A SUMMER MUST-HAVE.
