Wittnauer Professional 7004A/239T Chronograph
Wittnauer Professional 7004A/239T Chronograph
If you know vintage Wittnauer, you know the 7004A / 239T chronograph. While they came in a couple variants, this is the second generation, Valjoux-powered model that began around 1970 with its notable arrow minute hand. The contrasting yet balanced hues of the deep red bezel, black dial, and pale yellow lume makes for an unmistakable look from near or far.
Of vintage chronographs out there, this is a model you can’t, and won’t, go wrong with.

[All vintage watches are expected to function as described. However, due to age and generally unknown service history (unless otherwise stated), these watches may not keep time as accurately as new or quartz (battery) watches. This is completely normal and does not indicate that there is a major problem. Like your automobile, all mechanical watches will likely need to be serviced at some point in time. Please keep this in mind, as there is no guarantee regarding when these vintage watches may need standard maintenance. Every watch sold by Buying On Time is done so with the expectation that it is not currently in need of service or repair, unless noted. We guarantee that all watches sold are accurately described and in the stated condition when they leave our hands.]
