I just came across this tonight.  It has a Westclox (Valjoux) 17-jewel chrono movement.  Pretty nice shape and style for 1950s.  Reminds me of a Heuer Autavia.

Looks hot to me.

I am a big fan of all Chronos from that era.


Especially Wakmanns.

I agree with Foster....The Chronos of that era are very appealing to me I was bidding on a almost identical Bulova w/the same movement
