1960s Croton Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver “CASD”

Some speak of it as the quintessence of the 60’s Swiss chronograph. Others call it a “Swiss army knife”.
Indeed, it is the only watch to be, at the same time, a chronograph, a diver, a GMT, a pilot’s watch and a regatta watch.

This chronograph is going hotter and hotter, especially since the publication of the excellent book “Chronomaster Only” by Grégoire Rossier and Anthony Marquié.

Featuring a beautiful and particularly well designed black dial with dashes of red, broad arrow hands, black bezel, round pushers, this is a very desirable and typical 60s chronograph.
