Amanico (Nicolas) provides an exceptional visual comparison of Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) chronographs, highlighting the subtle yet significant differences between Rodania, Breitling, Omega, and Birks models. His detailed photography and keen eye for movement variations, like the Valjoux 236 and Lemania calibers, offer invaluable insights for collectors interested in these historically significant military-issued timepieces. This article delves into the nuances of these robust chronographs, making a decade-old topic fresh for new enthusiasts.
Amazing to see the level of finishing on the movement.
with loads of character. Wouldn't mind having one of these in my collection.
Did they both provide the watches to RCAF concurrently? I am assuming it was merely their movement infused into the air forces' approved design or did one (or both) contribute to this?
. . . you know who to call.
With a compétition caliber, this col de cygne….hmm very much my taste !
I still have the Breitling one in a very poor shape, with a repainted dial and wrong hands (and a movement that has seen better days). A project for another time 🤞🏻
