Mine is not chronometer-rated, but I have seen other Bucherer chronometers with Bidynators.

when it is about elegant and well-designed watches. It can be very rewarding when you look at vintage watches beyond the hyped brands, your watch is another example to prove that.
Looks as if it’s new.
I went to a large coin show years ago and one of the larger coin dealers had this watch just randomly placed in one of his many coin display cases. I almost didn’t see it. Not surprisingly it was the only watch in the entire show, and it was ridiculously inexpensive.
So you always have to keep your eyes open for surprises even in unexpected circumstances. This watch bug got me, but I managed to stop after 3 watches in less than a year, in the sense that I know what I’ll buy next and I have the means to proceed but I’m going to wait until the end of this year to buy it so to slow down a little bit, but I don’t know what would happen if I randomly come upon a vintage piece this clean and beautiful like yours, then I would probably buy it
