Vintage Helbros Chronograph Watch Venus 175 38mm S.S. Swiss Made Wristwatch

Watch Overview

This is a vintage Helbros Chronograph wristwatch, dated from the 1950's. It is a manual-wind watch powered by a mechanical movement, caliber Venus 175 with 17 jewels and small-seconds. It features a central chronograph seconds-hand and a 30-minute counter. It operates at 18,000 vibrations per hour with an approximate 45-hour power reserve. Swiss made. Serviced on November 2025

Still has the original champagne dial (showing some age) with applied Arabic numerals and a clear black minute track. A blue telemeter scale runs along the outer edge, while a red pulsometer scale sits further in. The red central chronograph seconds hand adds contrast against the aged dial, and the twin sub-dials at 9 and 3 o’clock keeps the display well balanced.

Cased in a 38mm round stainless steel case with polished finish and it is paired with a brown brand-new leather two-piece strap. This Helbros chronograph watch presents well with signs of honest aging. This timepiece is fully inspected and authenticated. Running and wearable.
