The word "rare" is thrown around somewhat listlessly in regards to watches - there are however, instances when no other word will suffice - this is one such time
In superbly original condition, this spectacular Monopusher Chronograph, powered by the venerable calibre 33.3 is everything a vintage watch should be
With both the numerals and alpha hands presenting matching and original radium in tact, the accompanying dial is truly a marvel. The outer Telemeter scale as well as inner Base scale remain clear and legible, the blue of the former sitting either side of the equally well preserved minute track printed in black
The case is no less impressive - with its grand scale (for the era, and no less wearable today), the stainless steel case is sharp and strong
Included is a hand made period correct Torres Straps Pigskin strap in harmonious pumpkin
The watch has been inspected by our trusted watchmaker, had a part maintenance service (repair of the rest function, cannon pinion lubricated, hands refitted, case cleaned, crystal polished, movement regulated) and is in full working order
The single olive shaped top pusher starts and stops the chronograph, whilst the ingenious reset pusher is set within the onion crown, once pushed, enabling the chrono hand to rest to zero
Currently keeping excellent time
This is a reference rarely seen on the market (a black dial version in superlative condition sold at Phillips in 2016 for 45,000 CHF plus fees) - don't miss out on this connoisseurs timepiece, truly a collectors item, ready to wear and to continue its journey

What is everyone saying?
I recently had the pleasure of buying a watch from Robin, a vintage watch dealer who truly stands out amongst the crowd. His exceptional communication and genuine passion for watches made the entire experience delightful from start to finish. Robin is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also a wonderful person to chat with, and was very much willing to go the extra mile at all times. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and enjoyable watch-buying experience - I'll certainly be back again in the future...!
I had a great experience buying a watch from Robin @ Mann about time.
Robin really facilitated my purchase journey, and created a climate of trust with his great knowledge of watches, in particular Rolex and Guilt GMT, but also with his high level of professionalism.
I would buy another watch from him with confidence.
Robin Mann … how to make this brief: First, an experienced and discriminating curator with a superb eye for quality, condition, character, artfulness and fine detail. Next, an absolute pleasure to communicate with. Then, presentation, packaging, and professionalism makes his entire exchange process simply … perfect.
Robin has created the standard for the vintage watch experience ….. cannot wait for the next one. Oh, and last, but not least … a really nice guy.
Thank you, Robin.
Ive known Robin for many years now , from when he was an art dealer, and when he told me that he’s started selling vintage watches, I knew I was in biiiiiiiig trouble. A vintage watch dealer that you can trust could only mean 1 thing: my bank balance would start dwindling and I was about to embark on an exhilarating ride collecting some of the most iconic vintage timepieces- His taste for chronographs is impeccable , his eye for discovering authentic pieces is truly astouding and his prices are more than fair : Within 2 years Robin’s managed to source 3 grail watches for me; a vintage sub, Pepsi gmt, and a 1016 explorer. He’s the best vintage watch dealer in the game and I cant recommend him highly enough!
