FS: Arcadia Val. 22 Pillar Wheel chrono with display case back

As unique as it is stunning....Offering a vintage ARCADIA chronograph housing a Valjoux 22 pillar wheel movement. Metal case measures 39mm (without the crown) x 48mm (lug to lug), features horned lugs and is in excellent condition. Comes with 2 case backs: metal and display, both shown in photos. The original two-toned dial, features a tachymeter scale in blue and a telemeter scale in red. Blued hands show up nicely against the patina of the dial.
The fully serviced mechanical movement, a Valjoux 22, is in excellent running condition. This movement was completely disassembled, all parts cleaned and inspected for wear and tear. The movement was then reassembled, oiled, greased and calibrated. I believe that this effort shows through in the photos of the movement.
ALL chrono functions working correctly and watch keeps excellent time.
Unique vintage, ready to wear.
Located in EU. Asking 1200Euros + shipping (or equivalent in USD). OBO
