Notes
This Vintage and rare watch
was born in France; created
by Dodane and assembled in
Switzerland, it was supplied to fighter
pilots of the French “Air Force”. This
special chronograph was expressly
produced on technical needs of the
French Ministry of Defense with the
fly-back chrono function. The watch
was in fact able to compensate for
the failure of the on-board devices
that were used by the pilot as a
navigation tool. The present watch
also features a stunning tropical dial
assuring the right vintage appeal.
