Racing Watch with Uni-Rotational Bezel and Milanese Bracelet

This timepiece boasts a great size and features a uni-rotational bezel that is firm and secure, ensuring reliable functionality. The outer mint bezel rotates smoothly, while the inner fixed bezel displays a 24-hour clock—perhaps evoking dreams of Le Mans. The blue face is complemented by Arabic numeral keys and batons, providing a classic yet sporty look.

While the luminous elements have faded over the years, this watch has a charming character reflective of its 53 years. The date display is positioned at 3 o'clock, and a subsidiary seconds hand adds to its functionality. Although the watch is water-resistant, it is advisable not to rely on this feature without a pressure test, especially if intended for water sports. The back case features a frogman motif, which may indicate a worthy investment in testing.

Instead of glass, this timepiece is equipped with plexiglass, eliminating concerns about shattering. The watch is fitted with a Milanese bracelet; the original one had worn out, and both have been replaced to enhance the overall aesthetic. The chrome case exhibits some marks commensurate with minimal use, while a bit of patina on the dial between the 1 and 2 positions and below the subsidiary dial adds to its vintage appeal. This watch beautifully marries functionality and history, making it a unique addition to any collection.
