Horological Meandering

After some Airain Type XX posts, what about another great vintage one? Auricoste Type XX CEV.

I will see if this one is still available. 








That would be a great addition to my meager collection. 

Military, French army, good looking, nice Flyback movement, superb patina...

Best,

Nicolas

Superb reference! So as I understand it, the term type 20 is basically related to the design not the manufacturer?

Yes, basically yes.

Seductive dial and wonderful case-work.

Definitely, mon ami. Thanks for looking.

Beautiful ! Worth having one in your collection, and this one is in excellent condition !

The list is so loooong... I would be super happy if I could score two watches this year, and especially a certain Rolex GMT MASTER 16760... ;)

A ref you made me discover, particularly rare piece ! Cross fingers (as you will need luck to find one !) ;-)

 
 By: montres1 : May 24th, 2024-10:27

Well, I know where it is. I just have to harass its owner...

 
 By: amanico : May 24th, 2024-10:33

Beautiful! This watch must have been through some amazing aeronautical experiences !!

What's your view on the modern Auricoste? Best, E.

Do you have a photo?

 
 By: amanico : May 24th, 2024-09:51

Not a bad looking one, for sure.
