Manufactured in the 1940's, JARDUR "Bezel meter" Valjoux 71 equipped with the popular ss 38mm water proof chronograph is a very rare 1st model. The unique and original design of this chronograph is designed for pilots. The combination of a rotating bezel with countdown and a multi-scale dial enables the chronograph to measure the time of flight and the GMT function. At the time, only Breitling and JARDUR had a chronograph with such a function, and the ingenious design that resulted from this special feature was truly functional. The Bezel meter is available in a variety of versions, including the Val-71, the later Val-72, and in water-resistant and non-water-resistant cases. This model is equipped with the rare Val-71 in a massive 38mm snap-back waterproof case.
