CAUNY PRIMA – Vintage Panda Chronograph – Valjoux 7733 – Gold-Tone Cushion Case – 1970s --- DESCRIPTION Distinctive vintage Cauny Prima Swiss chronograph from the 1970s, powered by the renowned Valjoux 7733 hand-wound mechanical movement and featuring an attractive silver-and-black panda dial housed in a substantial gold-tone cushion-shaped case. This striking timepiece captures the character of 1970s Swiss chronographs, combining a bold case design with a beautifully balanced two-register dial. The silver-tone dial features contrasting black square subdials at 3 and 9 o'clock, applied gold-tone baton hour markers, matching hands with red accents and a vivid red central chronograph seconds hand. A black peripheral tachymeter scale completes its classic sporting appearance. Inside beats the Swiss Valjoux 7733, a respected 17-jewel manual-winding chronograph calibre widely used by Swiss watchmakers during the 1960s and 1970s. The movement features a traditional cam-operated chronograph mechanism and carries the Cauny signature on its chronograph bridge. The generously proportioned cushion case, measuring approximately 38.9 mm excluding the crown, gives the watch an appealing vintage wrist presence. Its warm gold-tone finish contrasts elegantly with the panda dial and black strap. A characterful example of vintage Swiss chronograph design, particularly appealing to enthusiasts of mechanical movements and distinctive 1970s aesthetics. --- SPECIFICATIONS * Brand: Cauny * Model: Prima Vintage Panda Chronograph * Period: Circa 1970s * Country of manufacture: Switzerland * Movement: Mechanical, manual winding * Calibre: Valjoux 7733 * Jewels: 17 * Chronograph: Two-register mechanical chronograph * Case: Gold-tone cushion-shaped case * Case back: Stainless steel, signed Cauny Prima * Case diameter without crown: 38.9 mm * Case diameter including crown: Approximately 40.8 mm * Dial: Silver-tone with black panda subdials * Hour markers: Applied gold-tone batons * Hands: Gold-tone with red accents * Chronograph seconds hand: Red * Tachymeter: Black outer tachymeter scale * Functions: Hours, minutes, small seconds and chronograph with 30-minute counter * Strap: Black leather-style strap * Buckle: Gold-tone pin buckle * Water resistance: Not guaranteed due to the age of the watch --- CONDITION Good vintage condition, with authentic signs of age consistent with a chronograph from the 1970s.
