Vintage Heuer Abercrombie & Fitch Chronograph Repair and Service

This Abercrombie & Fitch Co. chronograph, powered by the reliable Valjoux 72 movement, received a complete service and restoration to ensure accurate performance and reliable chronograph function. The Valjoux 72, a manual-wind, column-wheel chronograph caliber introduced in the 1930s, is renowned for its robust construction and was used in many high-end watches of the mid-20th century. During service, the movement was fully disassembled, cleaned, and carefully inspected. No parts needed to be replaced. The chronograph mechanism was adjusted for smooth engagement and precise reset, and the movement was reassembled with high-grade synthetic oils. After regulation and testing in multiple positions, the watch was running very good.

Breif History of Abercrombie & Fitch Chronographs

The Abercrombie & Fitch Co. chronographs powered by the Valjoux 72 were produced during the 1950s and 1960s, a time when Abercrombie partnered with Heuer to offer high-quality timepieces. These watches were often co-branded, with Heuer manufacturing the pieces and Abercrombie & Fitch marketing them to their elite clientele. The Valjoux 72, a highly respected manual-wind, column-wheel chronograph movement, was known for its precision and durability and was used in some of the most well known chronographs of the era. These co-branded watches combined rugged functionality with refined aesthetics, making them a collectible piece today.
