This is a 1940s Helbros baby chronograph featuring the renowned Valjoux Caliber 69, housed in a stainless steel case with an extremely rare square design. Among the already rare category of baby chronographs, this square-cased example is particularly exceptional. It boasts a unique case shape that evokes the feel of shell-lug designs, and a square case volume that enhances its presence. The intricately designed black gilt two-tone snail dial beautifully reflects the aesthetics of its era.
The dial features a black base with a grey circular track, and a snail-style tachymeter scale rendered using gilt printing—resulting in a layout that excels in both design and craftsmanship.A Swiss-made bamboo bracelet is included.
This piece is equipped with the renowned Valjoux Cal. 69, one of the "Big Three" movements in the world of baby chronographs.
