PARA Chronomètre ‘Disco Volante’

The Italian collectors market is known for their specific taste and style they have in watches. These hard to find ‘Disco Volante’ (flying saucer) watches are one of these distinctive models which are popular amongst the watch collectors’ community. Rarity and quality go often hand in hand while they were made to last. This example measures a considerably large 33mm excluding the crown. The military looks on this PARA Chronometre presumably indicates that this watch has military roots. A clear and simple dial lay-out in combination with the central position of the seconds-hand, ensures fast and precise time reading.
