Description:

RODANIA,
Geometer, “Albino”, Ref. 5621H, made in the 1950s

A very fine, rare and attractive, tonneau-shaped, stainless steel chronograph wristwatch with silvery white dial, painted luminous indexes, luminous Dauphine hands, later chronograph hands.

Fitted with a caliber Valjoux 72, rhodium-plated, manual winding, 17 jewels, column-wheel chronograph mechanism, screwed case back, round chronograph pushers, signed crown.

Dial, case and movement signed.
Diam. 38 mm. Thickness 13.80 mm.

Released in 1954, the Rodania Geometer was created 3 years before the original Speedmaster, ref. CK2915 of 1957. The design of the Rodania is so strong and so close to what will be the later Omega’s model, that it is rumored to have inspired the iconic Omega Speedmaster.
The Rodania Geometer is powered by the famous Valjoux 72 movement, most notably found in the Rolex Daytona, or Heuer Autavia, to name few. Despite its long availability in the catalogue, the Geometer was manufactured in low quantities, with a total production estimated by scholars at less than 1000 pieces. The Geometer was produced with either a black or a silvery dial, aka Albino dial, such as the present lot.
