Vintage Orator Mechanical Chronograph – Gold-Plated – 35mm – Circa 1950s–1960s

A distinctive vintage Orator chronograph, featuring a gold-plated case and a dark dial with contrasting gold-tone Arabic numerals and hands. Twin subsidiary dials at three and nine o’clock, together with a detailed outer scale, give the watch its classic sporting appearance.

The dial is signed “Orator”, “17 Rubis” and “Antimagnetic”, while two pushers sit alongside the winding crown to operate the chronograph. A textured black leather strap complements the warm gold tones of the case.

Powered by a Swiss mechanical hand-wound movement, the watch measures 35mm across excluding the winder and 36.7mm including it. Its estimated production period is circa the 1950s–1960s.
