CHRONOSPORT
A New Era of Vintage Elegance
A unique dial
The new Chronosport stands out for its elegant design, advanced technical features, but above all, its original face. Indeed, its dial, both eye-catching and unprecedented, deserves attention, even a minute of silence in homage to its exceptional beauty: textured matte black, adorned with two small embossed counters (minutes and seconds) in taupe pulling towards khaki. Positioned at 12 o’clock and 9 o’clock, they are sure to surprise. A tachymeter scale circles the dial and adds a touch of sophistication. The pointed « baton » indexes, covered with white Superluminova with a yellow dot, add a touch of refinement to the design. Similarly, the hands, also filled with yellow, reinforce this elegance. The thickly printed white logo and the Paul Newman art deco typography bring remarkable visual depth.
Jean Singer
Dial design
Another notable element is the origin of its dial, designed by Jean Singer at the time, one of the largest dial manufacturers in Switzerland. His exotic creations, such as the Omega Speedmaster Racing and the Heuer Skipper, are among the most sought-after in the watchmaking world. The Chronosport integrates these successful elements with a unique style that is sure to appeal to savvy collectors.
Advanced Features
For speed enthusiasts, the Chronosport is equipped with a tachymeter scale allowing the measurement of speed over a known distance, adding a technical dimension appreciated by pilots and race drivers. This feature is both practical and aesthetic, enhancing the appeal of this exceptional watch.
Tachymeter Scale
How Does It Work?
Start: When the object or vehicle starts moving, start the chronograph. Stop: Stop the chronograph after the object or vehicle has traveled a known distance (1 km or 1 mile). Reading the Speed: Read the average speed directly on the tachymeter scale where the chronograph second hand has stopped. For example, if a car travels one kilometer in 30 seconds, the second hand will stop at the 120 mark on the tachymeter scale, indicating an average speed of 120 km/h.

The Singer Exotic ‘Newman’ Dial…
There is a lot of talk now about ‘prototype’ watches. We are, however, very happy to sell this as a genuine test piece by Nivada in as-new condition ( only a few tiny hairline scratches from storage !)– it has never been worn.
We believe that these watches were made in only around 20 examples and were never commercially available. To us, the most interesting element of this watch is the singer dial that shares some of the details of the Rolex Daytona so-called Paul Newman dials. The chronograph sub registers have the same fonts and square lollipop markers as the Newmans. The lume on the dial and hands has taken on a stunning, rich patina. Additionally the watch features a bi-directional rotating bezel, date feature and red depth rating. The steel bracelet is in outstanding condition.
This watch is in completely untouched condition and we have decided to not even open this time capsule. The watch is running fine, but for everyday wear a service might be recommended.
