Croton Chronograph 1878

Croton made a number of Chronograph models during the 1970s and 1980s, based on Valjoux movements. They could be double or triple register, with or without date, manual wind, quartz, cushion case, traditional lugs (see the Chronomaster) - the variety seems infinite and more versions appear almost daily. Here are some examples.
