A vintage chronograph with a beautiful genuine crocodile strap and a manufacture automatic movement. The price is very reasonable and the flyback function allows you to calculate distances. Its ecru white dial gives it a vintage look and goes very well with the brown of the crocodile. In 10 years I have never needed to do a service, it never delays.
