Manufactured in the 1940s, this Flytimer chronograph was produced by Carl Pforzheim, the former Tiffany watchmaker. It is powered by the legendary Valjoux Cal.72 and features a screw-back waterproof case with a black snail dial.
The substantial waterproof case, distinguished by its sharply stepped case sides and robust construction, houses the renowned Valjoux Cal.72 movement — a masterpiece from Valjoux that was adopted by many prestigious brands including Rolex.
The dial is an exceptionally intricate example of gilt manufacturing, with the “Flytimer” logo, “SWISS MADE” signature, and the complex multi-scale layout all executed in gilt print. Its highly mechanical appearance, unique to a three-register chronograph, combined with the powerful presence of a waterproof chronograph equipped with oversized pushers, makes this an outstanding timepiece certain to captivate chronograph enthusiasts.
