1940s Angelus 'Big Eyes' Chronograph

Why This Watch Matters This Angelus chronograph has a cool vintage vibe and won't break the bank.   The Full Story This chronograph from Angelus is full of interesting details. The lume on the hands and dial have darkened consistently to a rich green color, which gives the watch an almost "blacked out" aesthetic that is not seen too often.  The dark dial tone is contrasted by gilt accents that work really well with the overall look. The sub-dials are quite large and reminiscent of some Heuer "Big-Eyes" chronographs. The sub-dials are also engine-turned, adding some nice dimension to the watch's appearance. The minutes register counts up to 45 minutes. The gold syringe hands are another neat detail, providing this Angelus with even more charm. Angelus also made versions of this chronograph for the Hungarian Air Force (those have military markings). All in all, this Angelus is a great example of a vintage chronograph with an interesting appearance and a well-sized 38mm steel case.
