Vintage 1940s Gruen Precision "Chrono-Timer" Single-Register Chrono 14KT Watch
About the Item
This exceptional vintage Gruen Precision "Chrono-Timer" chronograph from the 1940s is a rare and highly collectible example of early American-market chronograph design. The watch is housed in a 32.5MM 14KT yellow gold case, offering elegant proportions and classic mid-century styling. Its silver dial features Arabic numeral hour markers, a single-register chronograph display, and an outer tachymeter scale, reflecting the functional sporting chronographs of the era. Blued steel hands provide a striking contrast against the dial, while the red center chronograph hand adds a vibrant touch of color and utility. Powered by the manual wind Gruen Caliber 450 17-jewel movement, this timepiece combines mechanical sophistication with timeless vintage appeal.
