SOLD - 1940's ANGELUS Chronograph 215 Tropical

Fine, like bluefin tuna...

A beautifully sunburnt chronograph, circa 1940's, which would have been born with a light-cream colour. With age, a rich blue-copper appearance is the result of decades of life under the radiant sun. An old-school sporty look, that matches a vintage leather jacket perfectly.

Dial: Tropicalised, copper dial with radium-filled numerals, with a powder-blue outer track. Small seconds register at 9 o'clock, and 45-min chronograph register at 3 o'clock. Stunningly detailed Angelus printed logo.

Hands: Radium-filled 'pencil' hands, heat blued.

Case: Raw and unpolished, the facets on each lugs still remain sharp. 36mm, in stainless steel. 3-piece case, with original pushers, and signed snap-back case.

Calibre: Manual-winding Calibre 215.
 

Straps: Near-new suede brown leather strap, 18mm.
