1950s Heuer Valjoux-71 Rare 38mm Water-resistant Three-register Chronograph with Black gilt dial

Manufactured in the 1950s, this is a rare 38mm stainless steel screw-back waterproof chronograph with the prestigious Valjoux 71 movement by Heuer. While watches with movements like the Landeron 13 or Valjoux Cal.23 are commonly seen in sizes around 33 to 35mm, it is exceptionally rare for Heuer to feature the Cal.71 in a larger 38mm oversized screw-back waterproof case. The dial adopts a simple design without features like a tachymeter, but compensates with a Big Eye design where the indexes and sub-dials are prominently laid out. Combined with the allure of aging patina and the solid feel of the screw-back waterproof case, this watch exudes an overwhelming presence and offers a magnificent vintage aesthetic.
