- Case and Movement Reporting
- The case is described by visual observation as a "Round metallic case with rectangular pushers at 2 and 4 o'clock and a ridged crown at 3 o'clock.", shown attached to a "light brown/grey-toned leather strap." Internal mechanics are stated in the listing headline as the in-house movement "Eigenkaliber Angelus 215". However, the movement itself is not visible in the provided dial photograph, leaving the caliber markings and movement condition unrecorded by direct visual observation.
- Identity and Model Attribution
- The timepiece is catalogued as an "ANGELUS - Flieger Chronograph", listed under auction lot "Nr. 103952004" within the category "Heren - 1900-1949". The platform entry dates the manufacture with the phrase "Schweiz um 1940", indicating Swiss provenance and an estimated production date around 1940. While the headline designates the model as an Angelus pilot's chronograph, reference numbers, military markings, and serial numbers are not recorded in this source.
- Dial Configuration and Visual Features
- The auction headline specifies an "Original schwarzes Ziffernblatt". Visual observation documents a "Glossy black dial with patinated luminous Arabic numerals and an outer base-1000 tachymeter track." The subdial layout features "Dual subsidiary dials located at 3 o'clock (chronograph counter) and 9 o'clock (running seconds)." Centrally, the watch displays "Gilt or patinated syringe-style central hands and a slender chronograph seconds hand."
- Documentation and Verification Limitations
- Technical metrics such as case diameter, lug width, case metal composition, and internal serial numbers are not recorded in this source. Listing descriptions such as "Original schwarzes Ziffernblatt" and caliber assignment "Eigenkaliber Angelus 215" reflect cataloguer statements from the auction headline rather than verified movement or caseback inspections.
