A Vetta chronograph manufactured in the 1940s, powered by the renowned Valjoux Cal. 22. This stainless steel model features a 38mm clamshell waterproof case and an extremely rare flat-bezel design, paired with a two-tone, multi-scale dial.
Among early waterproof cases known as “clamshell” cases, this is an exceptionally rare super-rare piece distinguished by its flat bezel design. It combines the solid, substantial presence unique to clamshell cases with the refined beauty of a flat bezel. The intricate and complex two-tone, multi-scale dial displays a superb vintage character that is truly emblematic of the era.
Equipped with the highly airtight clamshell waterproof case and the legendary Valjoux Cal. 22 movement—used by many brands of the same period, including Rolex—this Vetta chronograph is celebrated for its outstanding dial design and overall high quality, enjoying immense popularity in its home country of Italy.
