1972 Memosail Regatta Yachting Rare Watch Timer with 10 Minute Countdown valjoux 7737

This Watch
We have here a very special watch, the Memosail Regatta watch with a 10-minute countdown, flyback regatta module. The renowned watch movement manufacturers, Valjoux, designed the caliber specifically for this watch to have this function
This innovative movement sits inside a 2-piece case that measures a huge 45mm. It is a substantial case but a comfortable wear for both men and women. We've paired the watch on the new 24mm Silicone Blue strap in keeping with the original , for a more sporty look but it looks equally good on leather.
The dial on this watch is incredibly interesting and functional. The sharp striking dial has simple line markers with the Memosail name and logo at 12 o'clock. The modified chronograph flyback function is controlled by the pushers at 2 o'clock and underneath at 4pm for reset (More information below ) the dial is the gorgeous bulls eye blue / white dial is in great condition 10-minute countdown indicator window which is visible through the five holes between 12 and 4 o'clock. When the chronograph function is activated the countdown starts the flyback/seconds hand sweeps around the dial
What we think
We are very excited to have such a rare find available for our customers. This watch was the first of its kind and it is from this watch that subsequent developments in regatta countdown watches have been made. A real collectors timepiece with an incredibly interesting history!
