This extraordinary mechanical manual winding chronograph from Louis Moinet is distinguished by its understated appearance. It enables the wearer to count off the minutes in an elegant and highly visible manner by means of a central hand displaying them around the outer minute track.
Its legendary mechanical movement (Valjoux 7731) dates back to the early 1970s and is virtually impossible to find these days. Only a small quantity has been preserved and upgraded by Les Ateliers Louis Moinet.
Dressed in a polished Stainless steel case featuring the original design by Louis Moinet®, the Chronovintage is available in limited editions of 60 pieces in Silver or Charcoal dial options.
