About the Item
Vintage Titus 18k Gold Chronograph – 1950s Classic
This vintage Titus chronograph from the 1950s is a bold statement piece. The 37 mm 18k yellow gold case highlights timeless elegance and craftsmanship—so much so that many of these were melted down for their gold value. But this one survived.
The standout feature: a striking black gilt dial—rare for its era. It’s beautifully preserved, with bronze-coloured hands and markers that contrast perfectly against the gilt finish.
⚙️ Specifications:
Era: Circa 1950s
Case: 37 mm solid 18k yellow gold
Dial: Black gilt dial with bronze-tone hands and hour markers
Movement: Manual-wind chronograph
Accuracy: Running at approximately +20 seconds per day

Strap: Generic black leather strap (easily swapped to waterproof strap of your choice)
🔍 Condition & Performance
Excellent overall condition – very well maintained for a 70-year-old timepiece
Fully functional chronograph – pushers engage cleanly
