Vintage TV Chronograph

Post by Radiomir »

Hello guys!

Few years ago i realized that I have a passion for vintage chronographs. These watches make me weak and I started to look for one. It took not long and I could grab one.

Couple days ago I discovered the TV Chronograph for myself. First one I saw on Straton website and get interested.

Image

Than i checked the web and found there were few manufacturers of this beauty, for example Golana.

Image

There is 7750 onboard, really beautiful.

Another one is Arola, also with 7750:

Image

But there are also a loads of tv Chronographs with old hand winding 7334:

Do you know any other manufactured watches I can look for? Please share pics of it if you have one and know where to look for it.

I personally prefer the 7743/7734 layout. I assume you are looking for vintage pieces? What is your budget?

It depends what kind of movement is installed. For hand winding mechanism not more than 500 bucks.

Interesting- not familiar at all with these
"Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black."

I had a Straton from the first Kickstarter and absolutely loved it, for the price you couldn't beat it. That being said it has moved on cuz I needed funds for something else.

Was it Straton Speciale? It is shame, that they don’t have an automatic version in stock anymore.

No, it was the Syncro. Email Kyle, the owner thru their website. He’s a great guy. Never know if he has one or two laying around. It has worked for me in the past when a website said sold out.

Yes, his quartz are reasonable but I find his auto's pricey.
