Fratello On Air: Balazs And Mike On Their Favorite Vintage Chronographs Of All Time!


Listen Later

Balazs & Mike return with a new episode and we talk vintage Chronographs!

First, it's a "Handgelenk Kontrolle" where Balazs is sporting a '70s Seiko 6139-7070. Mike is donning a 1960 Gruen Ocean Chief.

News-wise, the gents discuss the new Omega Speedmaster Professionals, the recently announced 2021 European L.E.  Seiko Alpinist SPB201J1, and the MING 27.02 and Mike reveals a guilty confession..

Our main topic focuses on vintage Chronographs — the favorite style of watch to collect for both Balazs & Mike. It wasn't easy for each to pick their three favorites, but here they are!

Balazs discusses the following three pieces:

  • Omega Speedmaster Mark II with Racing Dial, an attainable watch that both of us own!
  • Angelus Chronodato, with its unique display. He also touches on the 215 with Hungarian Air Force provenance as well.
  • Lemania 27chro, a watch that's worth knowing because of its tie to our favorite Moonwatch.

Mike takes his turn on vintage chronographs and heads to the '60s:

  • Breitling 765 CP "Jean-Claude Killy", which ranks as one of the favorite watches in his collection.
  • Heuer Autavia 2446 "Jochen Rindt", an absolute classic that harkens back to the good old days of motor racing.
  • Omega Speedmaster Professional 145.012, an all-time classic that looks just as good today as it did back in 1967.

We close out the show with some talk on Tritium dial Speedmaster models and a promise to return with vintage chronographs we'd like to buy. Enjoy the show!
