Musem Collection N° 3 "Officers 1945"

In Context

At 37.8 mm it sits just under the modern norm — the band that suits the widest spread of wrists. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. Rated to 30 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. 55 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

5702.50.02 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It carries a stainless steel case. It was a limited edition.

Hand-wound movement with column-wheel operated chronograph mechanism. Stop-seconds. Finished with circular graining, rhodium-plated surfaces and gold-plated engravings.
