The Multichron line was one of Gallet’s most celebrated chronograph series, favored by professionals and enthusiasts alike. This example embodies the utilitarian elegance that defined Swiss chronograph design in the 1950s and 1960s. The watch features its original beige dial, gracefully aged to a warm vintage tone. It displays a balanced two-register layout with a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a small seconds subdial at 9, and both telemeter and tachymeter scales along the perimeter. The luminous hands and clean Arabic numerals complement the dial’s classic utilitarian style — a hallmark of mid-century Gallet chronographs. Inside beats the Swiss-made Venus Caliber 188 — a hand-wound chronograph movement with 17 jewels, operating at 18,000 vibrations per hour and offering an approximate 45-hour power reserve. This highly regarded movement features central chronograph seconds, a 30-minute counter, and small seconds, representing one of the most influential chronograph calibers of the postwar era. Housed in a 35mm stainless steel case with a smooth fixed bezel, domed acrylic crystal, and snap-on back. It is fitted with a classic two-piece leather strap for comfortable wear. Fully inspected and authenticated by our in-house watchmaker, this Gallet Multichron remains in good vintage condition and is ready for wear.
