Jardur Chronograph WW2 Pilot’s Watch
This 37.5mm. 1940’s WW2 era Jardur chronograph is simply a stunner! The 18k. Rolled gold plate case has ZERO wear…only normal micro scratches. The rolled gold case Jardurs were more expensive when new than the steel versions, that is likely why we see fewer examples than the steel. This amazing case has sharp beveled lugs and original steel screw-back. The original black dial is among the BEST I’ve EVER seen on a Jardur. The deep black glossy gilt print dial against the gold case truly looks amazing. The turning bezel is stellar. The crown is correct. More than once I’ve found these with scratched out case back wording on both the movement and case. The highly desirable VALJOUX 72 is accurate and very clean after a recent meticulous service. Pilgrim watch company made these watches for pilot training and were utilized as a navigation device. This is a true tool watch. You will love this prime example from my personal collection.
