Callima Super Chronograph – Swiss Mechanical Chronograph – 17 Jewels – Telemetre Scale – Stainless Steel – 1960s A striking vintage Callima Super mechanical chronograph from the 1960s, featuring a classic two-register configuration, a silver sunburst dial and contrasting dark blue-grey subsidiary dials. The watch has a strong period design, with its angular tonneau-style stainless steel case, large applied hour markers and external telemetre scale. The balanced “panda-style” dial configuration gives the watch an attractive sporting character typical of Swiss chronographs of the era. The dial is signed “CALLIMA – SHOCK PROOF – 17 JEWELS” and “Super – WATERPROOF”, while the case back is marked “GUARANTEED 165 FEET – SHOCKPROOF – SWISS MADE – STAINLESS STEEL”. Technical Details Brand: Callima Model: Super Chronograph Type: Vintage mechanical chronograph Movement: Swiss mechanical, manual winding Jewels: 17 jewels Case material: Stainless steel Case diameter: Approx. 37 mm, excluding crown Dial: Silver sunburst dial with contrasting dark blue-grey subdials Hour markers: Applied baton indexes Scale: External telemetre scale Chronograph: Two-register configuration Functions: Hours, minutes, central seconds, chronograph Glass: Acrylic crystal Strap: Generic leather strap, approx. 22 cm Water resistance: Originally marked 165 feet / approx. 50 metres – not tested for water resistance Case back: Stainless steel, signed and engraved Box: Generic box included Condition: Grade B Condition Report This Callima Super Chronograph is in Grade B condition, with signs of age and use consistent with a vintage mechanical chronograph from the 1960s. The stainless steel case shows scratches, surface marks and normal wear, while retaining its distinctive angular architecture. The pushers and crown are present and show age-related wear. The silver dial is particularly attractive and remains well preserved overall, displaying natural ageing and light patina. The contrasting subsidiary dials, applied indexes, telemetre scale and original-style typography give the watch vintage character. The acrylic crystal shows signs of normal use. The generic leather strap presents significant patina, creasing and surface wear. The case back retains its period engravings, including “GUARANTEED 165 FEET”, “SHOCKPROOF”, “SWISS MADE” and “STAINLESS STEEL.” Although originally marked as water resistant to 165 feet, the watch has not been tested for water resistance and this is therefore not guaranteed. Please study all photos carefully, as they are part of the description and show the actual condition of the item. Story & Heritage This Callima Super represents the distinctive character of Swiss mechanical chronographs of the 1960s, an era when chronograph watches were increasingly associated with motorsport, aviation and technical timekeeping. One of the most interesting details is the telemetre scale positioned around the perimeter of the dial. Historically, a telemeter allowed the wearer to estimate the distance of an event that could be both seen and heard by measuring the elapsed time between the two — a technical feature that gives vintage chronographs of this type additional historical appeal. The two-register layout, silver sunburst dial, contrasting subdials and angular steel case create a strong period aesthetic. Together with its 17-jewel Swiss mechanical movement, these elements make the watch an appealing example of the less commonly encountered independent Swiss chronographs of its era. A charismatic vintage mechanical chronograph for collectors who appreciate unusual Swiss brands, technical dials and authentic 1960s design. Internal Reference Number - ITM 954
