    Colourful Chronographs

    Just received a couple of new straps for my Lanco & Zenith.

    I'm hoping to get a few nice photos at the weekend - but here's a Q&D iphone shot



    I couldn't find a "Colourful Chronographs" thread with the search function - so apologies if this has been done before.

    If not - I'm sure there are many others... let's see them.

    This Zodiac from 1976 is one of my favourite watches...it was built by Heuer for Zodiac (something Heuer used to do) using Heuer components but with the dial (11630 I think) rebadged.
    And no Simon,you can't have it back ;-)

    Heh - excellent thread! I've got various black-dialled beauties but haven't had much colour in my chronograph history. Besides a long departed Mk II Speedy Racing and these two, I've tended to the monotone. The two current ones are a Bremont World Timer and a beautiful Shturmanskie which arrived today. Maybe I am acquiring more of a taste for colour...

    And if Simon can't have it back I suppose I can't either??
    I bought this one, sourced a replacement fluted pusher, got it serviced and replaced the crystal, then like a total idiot sold it to Simon. There's a couple of watches out there that I'd love to get back and this is top of the list.

    What a great thread and so many good submissions, quite a few I would like to own. This has to be my favorite out of the whole thread (so far). Is it a mid 70s chronograph? I don't mean to put you on the spot but what can you tell us about it?

    Thank you!

    Took me a long time to find this one, they're quite scarce. I was specifically after the blue herringbone dial.

    This resource will tell you a lot more than I'm able to without a great deal of plagiarism

    They are great - and the new straps suit very well.
