Vetta is a Swiss brand founded in 1926, known for producing wristwatches with precision mechanical movements. This military Chronomètre dates from the Second World War era and is a service watch, essential and functional.
The model
The chrome-plated case measures 35 mm. The sober, legible dial shows hours, minutes and small seconds at 6 o’clock. The wording “Chronomètre” denotes a movement that has undergone precision testing, a decisive quality for a watch intended for military use. The acrylic (plexiglass) crystal and the NATO-type strap complete its instrument character.
For the collector
Vintage military watches speak of practical use, far removed from the watch as ornament: this Vetta combines that history with the pursuit of precision indicated on the dial.
