Vintage Baume & Mercier Genève Chronograph, Landeron 48, Rare Black Dial from 1950's
This vintage Baume & Mercier Genève chronograph is a stunning and rare example - what sets this piece apart is its original black dial - a seldom-seen feature that adds to its desirability among collectors. The dial features a dual-register chronograph layout, luminous Arabic numerals, and a classic tachymeter scale around the periphery, all highlighted by warm patina and syringe-style hands.
Powered by the reliable Landeron 48 movement, the chronograph operates a bit differently than typical chronographs: the top pusher starts the timer, the bottom pusher stops it, and a second press of the bottom pusher resets the hand to zero. With a case thickness of 13.4 mm and lug-to-lug span of 41.3 mm, this watch wears with timeless vintage proportions and bold presence. A rare and mechanically sound timepiece for any serious chronograph enthusiast.
