FS: Certina Chronolympic Regatta

For sale is this rare Certina Chronolympic from 1971. The watch is in near excellent condition.
The original dial and hands is in mint condition, the case is in great original shape, no dings or scratches to talk about. Original crown and original glas.

This watch has been featured at Hodinkee.com and was also present in talking watches with Alan Maleh.

This is the only watch that houses the Valjoux 728 movement, based on the Valjoux 72. It has the central chronograph hand feature in common with several Lemania movements—the 134x and 5012/5100/5200 line. The minute register was removed from the Valjoux 72 but the hour register is left in place. Nice. The movement has 17 jewels and is named by Certina as the Caliber 29-064. It uses Incabloc a shock protection and has a stated power reserve of 46hours.

The watch will be delivered with the magazine from the auction were it's featured.

The watch is located in Sweden and world wide shipping is no problem. Has plenty of references from buyers here on WUS and other both national and international forums.

$3100 - €2800 OBRO wired inc shipping, if payment made by PayPal, please add 4%.

Here is a thread regarding the watch I posted in TZ-UK.
