Notes

Strangely very little information is known about the brand Cornavin. Their actual website mentions that the company was one of the first one to manufacture watches with large date and became popular in the 1960’s. The Cornavin reference 810 is visually striking with its decompression tables on the dial, its wandering hours and oversize case and is the most collected watch by Cornavin.
