The watch was part of a collection called the 'Aero Compax' (short for 'Aviator's Compact Chronograph'), which branched out into various complications. The name 'Tri-Compax' refers to the watch's three complications or additional functions beyond telling time: a chronograph with a 30-minute counter, a full calendar display with day, date, and month indications, and a moonphase display. Despite the number of complications, it sits at a very classic 36mm in size. Combined with the black tachymetre and wire lugs, it's the epitome of a mid-century sports chronograph. The watch's nickname came from the fact that Eric Clapton was often seen wearing one while part of Cream. Combined with its unusual aesthetics, this Tri-Compax is a very special watch indeed.✅Authentic: All watches are authenticated and come with a letter of authenticity ↪️Returns: 14 day return available on all watches, we want you to be 100% happy! 📃Warranty: Unless otherwise stated, all watches bought through Chrono24 come with a 6 month warranty 📦Shipping: Fully-insured shipping to all corners of the world
