CANDINO Vintage Chronograph cal. Valjoux 7733 / Two-Register

Candino has written its name into military watch history too, adopted by the Swedish armed forces and many others as proof of usefulness and reliability.

Behind it lies the influence of the distinguished Festina group — yet this watch carries a presence that goes beyond that name.

Originally a blue dial, it now wears a colour like some foreign desert, brought on by the years.

That dial speaks quietly for the passage of time and lets you feel the weight of the history this watch has travelled.

Inside is the Valjoux 7733.

From 1966 to 1973 it served as the standard manual-wind chronograph — evidence of its own history.

It went on to underpin many watch brands and added a new page to watchmaking.
