Wittnauer is just one of those brands we are glad hasn't been "discovered" yet. From their divers to their chronographs, Wittnauer represents a tremendous value for a well-built (Swiss!) timepiece with quality internals and pedigree in common with some much better known manufactures.
Dating from the 1960s, this Reference 7004A Chrono was marketed by Longines-Wittnauer as a professional-grade timepiece, and fitted with the well-known and ruggedly built Landeron 248 manual winding movement. The black dial features twin subsidiary registers (sweep seconds at 9:00, 30 Minute Counter at 3:00 with a 5 minutes countdown in red!) and a rotating outer bezel, which has ghosted to a brilliant shade of cranberry red.
We are constantly asked for our recommendations for affordable Swiss-Made chronographs in large, wearable sizes - and these get our definitive nod of approval! With great colors, terrific movements and large steel cases, it is damn-near impossible to find a cooler vintage chronograph for the money. Grab yours before they do catch on - and believe us, they will!
