This Nivada Chronosports is one of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the beige sub-registers, Singer used the same font as on the Rolex Paul Newman Daytona.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe charismatic dial design is supported by large white indexes, a red depth marking, a tachymeter scale, a date window at three, a bidirectional rotating bezel showing hours and minutes, and a luminous dot at twelve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSquare-tipped lollipop hour markers inside the sub-dials catch the eye, and the rarity of a design with sub-dials at nine and twelve will not be lost on you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe absolute highlight of this piece, though, is its condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite being more than fifty years old, it is almost perfect apart from slight storage marks between seven and eight o'clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tritium lume on the hour markers and hands also remains in superb, rich condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe movement is the manual-wind chronograph Cal.
