Collector Notes & Dating

This Roamer Chronograph from the 1940s is a remarkable example of mid-century horology, driven by the legendary Valjoux 22 caliber. The Valjoux 22 is a significant movement in watchmaking history, known for its robust column-wheel construction and large 14-ligne architecture, which served as the foundation for chronographs from top-tier manufactures like Heuer and Rolex. Finding this high-grade mechanism inside a Roamer case highlights the brand's commitment to quality during this era.

Born in the shadow of war, this timepiece reflects the functional aesthetic of the 1940s. The dial is a complex, multi-scale display featuring both a red tachymeter and a blue telemeter scale, tools originally designed for military and engineering applications to measure speed and distance. The "22" stamp visible under the balance balance confirms the movement's pedigree. The dial has developed a warm, uniform patina consistent with its age, adding to its vintage character. The case features a stainless steel back with a chrome-plated mid-case, a common material choice during the resource-constrained wartime years.
