Horological Meandering

Some more...

 

Hi,
just to explain and perhaps clarify a bit - I've some reasons for my conclusions written earlier - even though those are personal
opinions of course.

Well, to me it's obvious that this most likely is a redial - among some other reasons, the printing/layout doesn't  fit the rest of the watch - hands and dial opening of the
bezel - those has been observed and followed by the manfactureres  precisely with original pieces of that period.
Printing quality is really not there....and as said there are other points as well.

Same with the case - OP said t's steel,  personally I'm pretty sure it's chromium plated, color and all else does make this obvious.... I'd guess it would have a steel back, and
would be marked appropriately (Fond acier or Steel Back) or less common would even have a chromium plated back.

My more "wild guess" is the movement - I said early  Hahn Landeron caliber - well the reason for this is just that this has been one of the more common movements
found in that sort/quality chronographs in that time (BTW also used a lot by Breitling of that period).

The problem with vintage dials today is - the people who really know about it, are getting  really rare and even rarer are the good pieces to learn more about this issue....

Best regards
Suitbert

Eberhard mono pusher Cal 16000 from the late 40s, from the case, hands and sub dials. Some of them had a "slide button" at 4 to block the chrono... something like that: photocredit: lorologiese The Eberhard movement looks like this: Strange though that th...

...this to be an early Hahn Landeron cal. - dial clearly is redone, case obviously chromium plated brass/nickelsilver. Not much help, I'm afraid. Best regards Suitbert

Can you get more pictures

to be able to have a good guess at this it would be necessary to see the movement and any numbers or writing on the case. The only thing that can be guessed from your picture is the fact that the watch is a one button chronograph. Generally this would pla...

My guess, like one of the other responders, is that this could be an Eberhard. It has the look and the configuration of their earlier pieces. But, of course, it could be several other things as well. It could also have been made by Eberhard for some other...
