Globa Sport Swiss Made "Chronostop" Chronograph Manual Winding Watch

One of the best I have seen, working, and in superb condition, a vintage Swiss GLOBA Sport early 'stop-start' chronograph watch with a handcrafted leather strap. Vintage chronographs are one of the most desirable watches within the vintage watch world. These are the types of watches that will steadily appreciate in the coming years.

This 1960’s telemeter watch is 36mm excluding the crown and Swiss Made , with a sharp black dial which is perfect, and silver subdials, it has a rotating red bezel and pushers at two and four.The telemeter dial allows the wearer to measure the distance to an event that can be both seen and heard, i.e a lightning strike. This is a one jewel R. Lapanouse movement and keeps accurate time .Whilst technically a chronograph, this type of watch is often referred to as a “Chronostop” or "lap timer". The chronograph's upper sub dial registers 45 minute increments while the lower totalizes 6 hours.One must manually advance the time to 12 o'clock sharp and also allow the seconds hand to reach 12, both chrono registers will now also be at "0". Pressing the top chrono pusher will start the second hand and the bottom one stop it - Once the pusher is deployed, the time advances until the other pusher is pressed. It can time 45 minutes increments on the top register and 6 hours on the bottom register. To regain the current time, one has to check another timepiece and re-adjust using the tradition push-pull crown. 36Mmx42mm.
