1940s Gruen Chrono-Timer
This vintage Monopusher Gruen Chrono-Timer is from the 1940’s and is truly special. Single pusher chronographs are already special, but this two-tone Base-30 dial, which is absolutely breathtaking from all angles, makes for an extremely rare combination. The dial is absolutely perfect and untouched and will constantly catch the eyes of all around it. Additionally, this case is stepped with the most gorgeous lugs from the Art Deco period, immersing the wearer’s experience in the 1940s!
Brand: Gruen
Model: Chrono-Timer
Year: Circa 1945
Case:
33mm (Excluding Crown), 40.5mm Lug-to-Lug and 17mm Lug Width
Stainless Steel
Movement: 17-Jewel Manual Winding Cal. 450
Crystal: Acrylic Crystal
Bracelet/ Strap: 17mm Black Genuine Leather Calfskin Band
Features: A very Art-Deco design, with lugs reminicent of the Chrysler Building in New York City, and a STUNNING two-tone Base-30 dial with gold indicies. Outer dial features a base 30 Pulsations Scale for calculating Heart Rate. The chronograph functions are handled via a single pusher at the 4 o’clock position.
