Gallet & Co. Swiss, "MultiChron Yachting", Cal. Venus 188, 35 mm, circa 1970
A vintage "Yachting" chronograph in practically new condition
Case: steel, push back. Dial: silvered.
This exceptionally rare Gallet MultiChron Yachting chronograph is based on a model dating back to 1945 - the world‘s first wrist chronograph with 45 minute recording and 15-10-5 regatta count down timer for yacht racing. Besides its use for regattas, the MultiChron Yachting also functions as an all-purpose 45 minute chronograph.
Sadly, this timepiece has been waiting to be used for more than 50 years; lubrication has long dried out and a service is urgently required.
