This is a 1940s Doxa chronograph with an exotic and contrasting Oreo dial.
With its 36mm stainless steel case, this 1940s Doxa is a rare wristwatch, mainly due to its diameter. Most watches from this era had a diameter of less than 34mm. The exotic dial has a black ring with luminous Arabic numerals, a telemeter scale on the outer ring and a tachymeter scale in the center of the dial. The two sub-registers show the running seconds and a 30-minute counter. The red chronograph hand is also very striking.
