Jardur Pilot Chronograph: No need to be famous or expensive to be desirable.
Who among us knows this watch?
Some of us, who are attracted by the Vintage World, for sure.
And some specialists of the Vintage Pilot Chronographs, certainly.
But the majority of the other watch lovers?
There is a life outside Breguet, Breitling, Omega, or Longines Pilot Chronos, and this Jardur is a nice example.
I already posted something about it a few months ago, but I managed to take some fresh pictures of this lovely Chrono, mounted on a superb black Cordovan strap, showing some nice red accents to match with the dial.
Still honeymoon!
Best,

Do you suspect me of Polygamy? :)))
When it comes to watches, you may be true. Best, Nicolas.
What's the sentence, Your Honor? . . .
. . . you know full well he's irredeemable ;-) . . .
His punishment shall be.......
You are hereby sentenced to one month of wearing watches on both wrists, with no chance of appeal or reduction. Should you fail to comply, you will be sentenced to wearing watches on all four limbs.
What makes this strap even nicer and greater is that ...
It was given to me by a great friend... Thanks for your nice words, Drew. Best, Nicolas.
You are so right Nicolas...
This vintage is such a beauty, and even more sublimated with the strap, you know how much i love these combos... Here is something to add in case you didn't have it yet...Matt...
I already have this document...
I think Clavi posted it when I did my first post about this watch. About the Combo, yes, I think this Cordovan is ITS strap. Best, my friend. Nicolas
lovely nicolas
the condition is superb.. I've only ever seen examples with aged or damaged dials.. lovely, lovely
The funny thing, Dalevito
Is that before I found mine, I almost never saw one for sale. Since I found mine, I saw 2 or 3 for sale. The condition on this one was a major argument, indeed. Thanks for the nice words. Nicolas
I'm usually..
..not that into matching straps and watches, but that is a perfectly subtle match. Nice one, Nico. Did you ever chase down Jardur flight instruments to accompany it?
Flight instruments...
Now that is a very tempting idea, my friend. I love that my Toys have toys, too. Seriously, one day, I will get one or several, sure! Best, my friend. Nicolas
Brilliant combination...
Wear it in the best of health "De Nico". Does the strap come in other colour accents? Please PM me if you know where I can see these. Regards, Richard.
Thanks, Richard.
As for your question, I don't know the answer, as a friend offered it to me, but my guess is that you may have a short selection of colors... As this friend is here on our forum, he may give you the answer. Best, Nicolas
Love the strap and dial combo. How old is it?
See that you are expanding your vintage collection Nic. cheers PAt
Well, I own this Jardur Chrono for several months now.
And my problem is that I' mseriously attracted by BOTH Modern and Vintage watches... Thanks for the nice words, my friend. Nicolas.
Sublime
What a great dial. Really a unique style. I am sure that once you put this on your wrist it would be very hard to take it off.
I confirm ... :)
A strong, unique, and dangerously captivating style. To try it is to adopt it! Best, Nicolas.
