What makes this Chronomaster edition so special? It’s the engine within: the fully restored Valjoux 23 VZ, one of the most iconic chronograph movements in watchmaking history. Produced from 1916 to 1974, this column-wheel caliber is a mechanical legend — prized for its precision, beauty, and the dual push-button design introduced by Willy Breitling.

Encased in 38mm of 316L stainless steel and topped with a double-domed sapphire crystal, this Broad Arrow edition channels the golden age of racing chronographs. Its matte black dial is paired with warm vintage lume and bold arrow hands, while the brown racing strap underscores its motorsport heritage.

Each watch is built around a new old-stock Valjoux 23, fully reconditioned and tested to modern standards. The result: a timepiece that feels like a vintage chronograph, but wears like it just left the workshop.

Limited to 25 numbered pieces worldwide.

The Broad Arrow edition of the Chronomaster Valjoux 23 is where 1970s sport chronographs meet modern mechanical integrity. Beneath the matte black dial and bold arrow-shaped hands beats the legendary Valjoux 23 VZ — a historic hand-wound movement known for its 58-year production run and its use in some of the most iconic chronographs of the 20th century.

Fitted with a brown perforated racing strap, vintage-tinted Super-LumiNova, and a 38mm steel case, this watch is designed for those who appreciate the tactile feel and aesthetics of golden-era motorsport timekeeping.

Each of the 25 numbered pieces houses a new old-stock movement that has been expertly restored, offering the charm of a vintage watch — without any of the mechanical uncertainties.

An exceptional caliber

Founded in 1901 by brothers John and Charles Reymond in Les Bioux, Switzerland, the company operated as ‘Reymond Frères SA’ until 1929, when it was renamed ‘Valjoux SA’ (short for Vallée de Joux, the‘Watchmaker’s Valley’ where many of the top Swiss brands are still based).


Specializing in chronograph movements, they launched the caliber 22 in 1914; it would remain in production for nearly sixty years. However, it was the smaller 13-line caliber 23, developed in 1916, that revolutionized the world of wristwatch chronographs. It found its way into the timepieces of such prestigious brands as Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Rolex, and Vacheron Constantin.

This movement was produced for sixty years, until 1974. It's estimated that 125,000 of these base movements were made, although relatively few were reworked by Patek Philippe for their chronograph production.
