WHY WE LOVE IT

–

As watches go, the 242T has story and lineage and charm; in fact, it deserves to rank alongside the Rolex Daytona and Omega Speedmaster as one of the great sporting chronographs of the 1960s.

Also, like the Speedmaster, the 242T was most likely submitted to NASA for the Qualification Test Procedures. Several of the great watch manufactures — Omega, Bulova, Wittnauer, and Rolex, to name a few — submitted watches for consideration in the Apollo space program. They were subjected to rigorous trials that pushed the watches to the very limit of their endurance.

This particular 242T features a 38mm stainless steel case, barrel pushers, an acrylic crystal, and a signed crown. Its signature feature is the classic 242T dial — matte black with tritium lume, it features a color-matched handset with a three-register chronograph layout and a wildly cool chapter ring in decimal time, which breaks a 24-hour day into 10 decimal hours consisting of 100 decimal minutes, each comprised of 100 decimal seconds. This feature was useful in aviation, and is fairly rare in chronographs, making the 242T unique.

Powered by the legendary Valjoux 72 manually-wound chronograph movement, this 242T shows signs of light wear throughout, but is otherwise in great condition. 

Why get a run-of-the-mill chronograph when you can spring for something this special?

OVERALL CONDITION

The case is in excellent condition overall showing signs of light previous polishing and light wear from age and use. Matte black Tritium dial shows rich patination with color matched handset. Signed crown.
