Ulysse Nardin

Well, a nice vintage chrono from UN is not really a bargain. Except if you compare it with the Patek, Vacheron and AP siblings.

80 years old, this old brother! They really had some stunning watches, at that time. This Chronograph is one of them, among many others. Do you own or know any of them? Best, Nicolas ...  

What a superb watch that is!

The dial lay-out is beautiful and perfectly proportioned.

38 mm case, but it easily wears like a 40 mm one.

Superb, Nico! Superb. Where do you find these gems? (Is it possible the NATO strap may abrade the back of the case?)

I don't have a photo of the case back, but no, no sign of wear caused by a Nato. And I have mine for more than 13 years, now. As for my sources, here I found it from a french watch dealer who had some marvels.

They really knew how to design a chronograph back in the day

Yes, the UN vintage universe is worth a serious exploration, Andrea.

I'm sure it's full of bargains

Oh, I thought that they wouldn't be that expensive based on the fact that UN isn't one of the popular choices

Not the most famous. Just for the connoisseurs.

Vacheron Constantin Historique Chronograph. I like its vintage look.

A bit more macho, though.

Very nice!

Very much partial to its metal and case!

Thank you, my good friend.

Superb condition. Does not look a day over 50. Nice.
