The Croton Chronomaster made its debut in 1963 and continued production until about 1978. Most variations are a two register chronograph with subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock, and a sixty minute elapsed time diver’s bezel. The first generation had the large arrow hands was made from 1963 to about 1970 when they switched over to the classic ’70’s ‘stick’ hands (as is this chrono). This example (Pierre Vallee Edition) is from the early to mid ’70’s, and is the second generation style. It has a matte black dial with black sub-dials that have glossy black bevels which really make them stand out. The 30 min sub-dial at 3 o’clock has a red triangle highlighting the first five minutes which count down from 5 to 1. The extremely clean 17 jewel Landeron Movement is marked Croton. The case back is marked Stainless Steel, Waterproof, Shock resistant. The band is heavy rubber in excellent condition. Overall Condition is very nice, true to the photographs. Crystal is clear with minor signs of wear. Face is perfect, luminescent markers present and whole. Stainless Case shows light wear upon close inspection. No past failure in the sealing has left the interior of this watch in near perfect original condition. The Bezel is excellent. The back showing very minor scratching. It is a fully functioning chronograph, keeping good time. No issues. No International Sales, free shipping to U.S. 50 state addresses. Just sold a similar watch, check that feedback.
