{"product_id":"wakmann-triple-date-chronograph","title":"WAKMANN TRIPLE DATE CHRONOGRAPH","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"141\" data-end=\"521\"\u003eAn authentic and mechanically rich example of mid-century Swiss chronograph design, this Wakmann Triple Date Chronograph captures a period when complexity and functionality were at the forefront of watchmaking. Produced during Wakmann’s close partnership with Breitling in the U.S., pieces like this reflect the same tool-watch DNA and engineering philosophy that defined the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"523\" data-end=\"909\"\u003eThis watch is defined by its bold and highly legible “reverse panda” dial. The matte black surface is contrasted by silver subdials, with a red chronograph sweep hand adding a sharp visual accent. The full calendar layout—featuring day and month apertures along with a pointer date—adds both visual depth and mechanical interest, while maintaining excellent overall balance on the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"911\" data-end=\"923\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"911\" data-end=\"923\"\u003eMovement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"925\" data-end=\"1360\"\u003eInside, this watch is powered by the Valjoux 72C, a triple calendar chronograph movement from the same lineage as the legendary Valjoux 72. Known for its durability and serviceability, the 72C represents a high point in manual-wind chronograph construction, combining robust timekeeping with the added complexity of a full calendar mechanism. The movement is running well, with chronograph and calendar functions operating as intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1362\" data-end=\"1628\"\u003eThe stainless steel case is in very good vintage condition, showing light wear consistent with age while retaining strong overall lines. The watch wears well on the wrist and is fitted with a black NATO-style strap that complements its sporty, utilitarian aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1630\" data-end=\"1999\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1630\" data-end=\"1646\"\u003eKey Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1630\" data-end=\"1999\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCirca\u003c\/strong\u003e: Late 1960s – Early 1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1630\" data-end=\"1999\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Valjoux 72C (Manual Wind Chronograph with Triple Calendar)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1630\" data-end=\"1999\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: ~38mm (excluding crown)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1630\" data-end=\"1999\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1630\" data-end=\"1999\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Original Black “Reverse Panda” with Silver Subdials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1630\" data-end=\"1999\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black NATO Strap (Aftermarket)\u003cbr data-start=\"1913\" data-end=\"1916\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"max-width: 400px; margin: 0 auto;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"max-width: 300px; margin: 0 auto;\"\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"WAKMANN TRIPLE DATE CHRONOGRAPH\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UwlVeL6-6To?rel=0\u0026amp;mute=1\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 9\/16;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n  \u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ashton-Blakey Vintage Watches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45544049639615,"sku":null,"price":3585.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1242\/0384\/files\/NKN_9130_a5f19509-c1f9-4e7a-829b-4bcf50f5d699.jpg?v=1776959920","url":"https:\/\/ashton-blakey-antiques.com\/products\/wakmann-triple-date-chronograph","provider":"Ashton-Blakey Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
