Wittnauer Triple Calendar Chronograph | Valjoux 72C

A rare and highly collectible vintage Wittnauer Triple Calendar Chronograph featuring the legendary Valjoux Caliber 72C movement, produced between 1938 and 1974. This manual-wind wristwatch is a marvel of mid-century engineering, combining a high-end 9 column-wheel chronograph with a triple calendar complication displaying day, date, and month—an advanced feature for its era.

Key features include:

• 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o'clock, 12-hour totalizer at 6 o'clock, and running seconds at 9 o'clock.

• Beating at 18,000 vibrations per hour, with a 40-45 hour power reserve.

• Original vintage design maintaining rugged, tool-watch charm with refined appeal.

• Approximately only 1,300 examples of the Valjoux 72C were made, making this Wittnauer an exceptionally rare find.

• Despite its historical importance, this watch remains accessible compared to its more expensive contemporaries, offering outstanding value to collectors.

• The watch is offered with a soft grey nubuck leather strap with tonal stitching, complementing the utilitarian roots and vintage aesthetic perfectly.

This Wittnauer stands out not just for its mechanical sophistication but also as one of the first triple-calendar chronographs, predating celebrated models from Rolex and Heuer. It is a prized collector’s piece, especially when preserved with original dial and hands, combining technical excellence and timeless vintage style.

A perfect addition for enthusiasts seeking heritage, horological complexity, and a distinctive mid-century statement on the wrist.
