Certina Chronolympic Regatta Yachting chronograph by Ebauche Sa, valjoux 728

Description

This beautiful and extremely rare Ebauches SA (ESA/ETA) regatta prototype represents a significant piece of Swiss watchmaking history. Powered by the column wheel movement Valjoux 728, it was the first regatta movement with the minute chronograph counter positioned in the center.

Produced in a limited series for only one year in 1971, this is one of the rarest Valjoux movements ever made. During this period, it was commercialized by Certina under the name Certina Chronolympic Regatta.

Ebauches SA, founded in Neuchâtel in 1926, specialized in designing and producing Swiss movements and watch prototypes for various brands before becoming ETA SA Fabrique d'Ebauches in 1985.

Perfect for collectors and sailing enthusiasts who appreciate historical timepieces with technical significance. Its vintage character makes it suitable for both casual and special occasions where you want to make a statement.
