Angelus Vintage Chronograph – 1940s

A truly exceptional piece of horological history, this beautiful 1940s Angelus chronograph is a wonderful example of the quality, precision and understated elegance of mid-century Swiss watchmaking.

Angelus produced some remarkably well-engineered chronographs during this period, with examples finding their way into aviation, military and Air Force service. This particular civilian model has a charm all of its own, featuring a beautifully preserved gilt dial, elegant Bauhaus-style numerals and a wonderfully understated non-luminous configuration.

Inside beats the highly regarded Angelus Calibre 215, a manually wound chronograph movement, beautifully crafted and representative of the brand’s technical excellence during the era.

The full stainless steel 35,5mm case retains its original fixed spring bars, a distinctive period feature that allows the watch to be worn on a traditional leather strap or a military-style NATO strap, adding to its authentic vintage character.

A watch with genuine presence, exceptional design and a fascinating connection to the golden age of aviation and military horology. An increasingly special and desirable vintage chronograph for the discerning collector.

A timeless piece of 1940s Swiss watchmaking, where mechanical excellence meets pure vintage character. Just fully serviced by our watchmaker.
