1940s Bovet Freres Chrongraph Wristwatch, Bovet Chronograph, WWII Bovet Chronograph
A surviver of the WWII.
There were not many chronographs produced by Bovet, but the once where produced as a tool watch and were well appreciated timepieces in the times of the WWII war.
This example is a well preserved and most probably much used in the war time. The case shows some signs of wear, the pearl silver dial is well preserved, classic, two-register layout with painted numbers and hands to really pull the design together.
The push buttons are original, the crown has been changed.
This watch is a very rare watch with history. This rare design, particularly in this condition, should not be missed, as you don't see these come up often.
