An interesting Chronometre segment.. To me except the linen structured dial ..
Nov 25, 2014,00:28 AM
.. not quite the appeal, I would be looking for ;
BUT: for the Chronometre collector maybe unavoidable
I can imagine, that the intrinsingly micro-structured Dial will play with light & sun rays ..
Two little Qs:
- Any chance to see a wrist shot??
- we're there dials with other dial colors for all 3 Refs ?
That might change a bit the equation a bit for me !!
Hmmh... In grey or blue ..
Thx for sharing and always
My very Best !

- Big Congrats for the 90 K !!

If there is a Chronometer we don't often speak about, it is this one. Indeed, when we think Chronometer and Vintage JLCs, two watches are most often mentionned: The Geophysic, and the Geomatic. It is certainly not because of its rarity: A bit more than 3 ...

If I remember correctly, some Club came with an outsourced movement. So, not sure the day date " Club " used the Cal 906. Best, Nicolas.
My mistake... The Club use....

36 mm case, but it wears a bit bigger. And like you, I was not really enthusiast on pictures, but in the real, it is better. You'll see. Best, Nicolas
Love the pedigree...

But not the bracelet. The dial is nice, too, with the quadrants "drawn out" with the lines. Thanks for sharing. -Dean
A little late.. but just to say: very nice, typical 70ies.. Like the fab blue dial ! :)

For me interesting, indeed, how many variations there were, if I'm not wrong: Square, more rectangular, dials: silver, grey/ blue, black (??); then Date, Day Date etc .. This 2400x series was quite ubiquitous, it seems Thx for the share, Best, hs
Great article Nicolas. This dial is quite fascinating

1 great idea of this dial treatment is the square surround that trims the date window, which mimics the square backing plate of the markers at 12, 6, and 9. And I much like how the tritium dot has been applied to the markers every 5 minutes; a bit crude a...

... The Red Seconds Hand? It reminds me of a vintage Omega I saw the other day and it had a blue seconds hand. I don't know why, but I love watches that have a uniquely colored seconds hand. Does that make me a bad guy? All the best, my friend, - Scott
Great post, Nico !
