Fratello On Air: Balazs And Mike On Their Favorite Vintage Chronographs Of All Time!
Episode description
Balazs & Mike return with a new episode and we talk vintage Chronographs!
First, it's a "Handgelenk Kontrolle" where Balazs is sporting a '70s Seiko 6139-7070. Mike is donning a 1960 Gruen Ocean Chief.
News-wise, the gents discuss the new Omega Speedmaster Professionals, the recently announced 2021 European L.E. Seiko Alpinist SPB201J1, and the MING 27.02 and Mike reveals a guilty confession..
Our main topic focuses on vintage Chronographs — the favorite style of watch to collect for both Balazs & Mike. It wasn't easy for each to pick their three favorites, but here they are!
Balazs discusses the following three pieces:
- Omega Speedmaster Mark II with Racing Dial, an attainable watch that both of us own!
- Angelus Chronodato, with its unique display. He also touches on the 215 with Hungarian Air Force provenance as well.
- Lemania 27chro, a watch that's worth knowing because of its tie to our favorite Moonwatch.
Mike takes his turn on vintage chronographs and heads to the '60s:
- Breitling 765 CP "Jean-Claude Killy", which ranks as one of the favorite watches in his collection.
- Heuer Autavia 2446 "Jochen Rindt", an absolute classic that harkens back to the good old days of motor racing.
- Omega Speedmaster Professional 145.012, an all-time classic that looks just as good today as it did back in 1967.
We close out the show with some talk on Tritium dial Speedmaster models and a promise to return with vintage chronographs we'd like to buy. Enjoy the show!
