Massive and Attractive, Navitimer Cosmonaute Chrono-Matic, Automatic Wristwatch in Steel, With Black Dial, Two Chronograph Registers and Date, Reference 1809 Model: Navitimer Cosmonaute Chrono-Matic Reference: 1809 Case Material: Stainless Steel Bracelet Material: Leather Strap Year: 1960's Movement: Automatic Caliber: 11 Dimensions: 48 mm Signed: Dial, Movement and Case The reference 1809 Navitimer Cosmonaute Chrono-Matic not only uses one of the world's first automatic chronograph movements, the calibre 11, but also features a new and rather revolutionary case design. The 48-mm-diameter "Big Case" introduces a complex bezel mechanism, which enables high water resistance thanks to a screw-down case back. The specimen offered here has a very well-preserved steel case with clear engravings on the back. It also features the iconic black dial with two white counters, orange hands that add a touch of color, large Roman numerals, and a date window at 6 o'clock.
