1960s Wittnauer 235T Chronograph Valjoux 72 (w/ Box)
It had long-been speculated that the Wittnauer model tested by NASA along side the Speedmaster was the reference 242T. But recently it was confirmed by NASA that it was in fact the reference 235T that lost out to be the (now) Moonwatch. Coming in at a 36mm, this piece is an easy wear. The multi colored dials really draws the eye to the blue and red. This 235T is powered by the famous Valjoux 72 and runs flawlessly. This example even comes with the box!

The white dial has aged to a warm ivory color, with the blue tachymeter and red telemeter at the outer edge of the dial adding to the character and charm of this timepiece.

As service history is unknown, a service is recommended in the near future.
