Vintage Croton Chronomaster

Caught this minty 60s Croton Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver watch recently. Made by Nivada Gretchen, the company used the Croton brand for the American market.

The early models like mine had the large arrow hour hand and used the reliable Valjoux 23 movement.

The watch seems to be hardly used and the hour markers and hands have developed a nice creamy patina. The 38mm case is unpolished.
