Chronographe Suisse Incabloc – 1950s – Manual Wind – Waterproof Chronograph – Landeron 248
This Chronographe Suisse Incabloc is a genuinely rare and special find. Dating to the 1950s by serial number, it represents one of the earlier attempts at producing a waterproof chronograph, achieved through a patented case construction designed to protect the movement from moisture — an impressive technical feature for the era.
At approximately 35mm, the case size is notably generous compared to many chronographs of its time, giving it excellent presence on the wrist while remaining true to mid‑century proportions.
