A rare 1940s Gallet "Commander" chronograph featuring the Excelsior Park Cal. 42 movement with a tonneau-shaped design and a black gilt snail dial.
This timepiece is equipped with the rare oval-shaped Excelsior Park Cal. 42 chronograph movement. The case, designed with substantial thickness to accommodate the movement, boasts an original tonneau shape. Combined with the distinctive snail dial of this era, the watch offers remarkable presence despite its compact size.
While silver dials are commonly seen in the Commander series, this rare black dial variant stands out. The minute track, snail tachymeter, and "GALLET" logo are all crafted using the gilt technique, adding to its exquisite charm.
