Wittnauer

Wittnauer chronographs are some of the most appreciated among collectors, and with this ref. 242T it’s easy to see why.

The lume developed a rich walnut tone that perfectly matches the gorgeous black dial, with substantial lume-dots as hours marker and an outer decimal ring.

The case is wonderfully sized at 38 mm, perfect for today’s standards, and is in great overall conditions.

Never officially confirmed, this reference was submitted by Wittnauer to NASA’s contest to find the watch to equip astronauts with, making the ref. 242T incredibly desirable and sought-after.

Powered by the iconic Valjoux 72 caliber, this wonderful timepiece is the perfect representation of what a mid-century chronograph should look like and shouldn't be missed in an historically-relevant chronograph collection.
