HEUER Leonidas

One of my few targets, for this year. I have to harass its owner though... It will take me one good year to achieve convincing him. Best, Nicolas

A marvel of a military chronograph delivered to the pilots of the Esercito Italiano ( E.I ). In the vein of the Heuer / Leonidas Bund. Another watch with a lot of soul, character and History. Best, Nicolas
