1950’s HUDSON (By LePhare, Swiss) Vintage Chronograph Mid-Size Watch – Venus Cal. 210

A lovely timepiece from the 1950’s, this HUDSON (Swiss) vintage chronograph watch by LePhare, has been professionally inspected in-house here at Localtime.

It is in nice condition throughout and ready to proudly wear or join your collection. The 34mm (37.25mm counting centre crown) screw-back chrome-plated case with small pushers and ‘champagne’ dial and silver hands/indices create a beautiful contrast and are, in my humble opinion, a feast to the eyes. This lovely chronograph is fitted with a new old stock same-period croc leather strap in brown that, in my humble opinion suits the watch nicely.

As with all the watches we handle inhouse, the listed buy-it-now price includes a 3-month written warranty from the time of purchase. Do not hesitate to contact us for any further information you might need.

Extra: Try our handmade genuine crocodile straps. You can see them in the last photo in this listing and they are listed separately in the store under Accessories & Straps.

Important Note: Sometimes I am asked what I exactly mean with ‘professionally inspected by Localtime’. Here is my theory on vintage watches: as a purveyor of vintage watches, my effort is to always do only what is needed to the watch. I do not buy ‘junk’ watches to resell. I am choosy with my purchases and always sell watches that are, to my knowledge, authentic and in good condition. I first inspect the watch, both visually (cosmetically) and then mechanically. If I judge that the watch is not yet in need of a full service then I do not put the watch through a service which, by the way, entails a lot of risks too. Instead, I give it what I call my ‘Spa’ treatment which will include a cleaning, changing of gaskets, oiling, lubricating and mechanical testing. If the plexi is heavily scratched or discoloured and it can not be cleaned, I change it. If the crown is wrong or worn, I also change it. Now, if the watch is in need of a full service, then my ‘professionally inspected’ description becomes ‘professionally serviced’. In both cases, I mention what has been changed (if anything) on the watch and I include a written warranty with my listed price.

Important Note On Straps/Bracelets: The straps I use on my watches (leather, canvas, suede, rubber) are always brand new, unless otherwise mentioned and, in most cases, I also sell them separately in my store, in different colours and sizes. In the case of metal bracelets, if the watch is NOS, the bracelet is also unused. If the watch is pre-owned with its original bracelet, then the bracelet is also pre-owned, unless otherwise mentioned. Either way, if in doubt, please ask.
