Re: Watch ID: Ponch's chronograph from CHiPs

Thanks Steve! Some Chips fans on the omega forum traced it to a Cimier Sport telemeter chrono from the 1950s. A very low budget watch with a single jewel.

Yes there was a few, he wore a Seiko a lot also, but this is the watch from the opening credits. Wonder what the story is there? It would've already been quiet old in the late 70's.

: Hi David, I saw your post on IG too. While I can't help with this
: watch in particular, a quick look yesterday did show he wears at
: least 2 others watches in production, if not more!

: One was an Elgin M-35 from memory. Is it still the one in the photo
: in particular you want to identify?

: Many thanks, Steve
