Extremely Rare Vintage CYMA Chronograph – Valjoux 22
A genuinely exceptional and highly uncommon piece of early Swiss chronograph watchmaking, this vintage CYMA mechanical chronograph dates from approximately 1930–1940.
What immediately sets this watch apart is its remarkable rarity. Vintage CYMA chronographs from this period are extremely scarce on today's market, and examples with this particular combination of a stainless-steel case, black chronograph dial and Valjoux 22 mechanical movement are rarely encountered.
The watch is powered by the highly respected Valjoux 22, one of the historically important Swiss hand-wound chronograph movements of the era. Its traditional mechanical construction and period-specific design make this an especially interesting watch for serious vintage chronograph collectors.
The 36 mm stainless-steel case has beautifully authentic proportions for the period, while the sophisticated black dial features a detailed chronograph scale and vintage numerical design that gives the watch an unmistakable character.
A Truly Uncommon Collector's Piece
The greatest attraction of this CYMA is its scarcity. Unlike more frequently encountered vintage Swiss chronographs, this particular type of CYMA is rarely seen for sale, making it an intriguing discovery for collectors searching beyond the usual names.
Its combination of a 1930s–1940s production period, stainless-steel case and Valjoux 22 chronograph movement places it firmly within the fascinating early history of Swiss mechanical chronographs.
For the serious collector, this is not simply another vintage watch. It is a rare piece of Swiss horological history, representing an era when mechanical chronographs were becoming increasingly sophisticated and were produced in relatively small numbers.
A particularly compelling choice for collectors who value rarity, historical character and authentic vintage mechanical watchmaking.
