Today it's my new find from the Intersect event yesterday...a vintage 1960s Ollech & Wajs "Astro-Chron" Yachting Chronograph on what looks like a custom-made leather strap with matching stitching...the dial is in fantastic condition for its age

I like the splash of color that the red and blue provide.

Thanks Greg!
I may see if my Yema tri-color fits the lug width. It is a little more subtle than this strap.
I have an extra one...we'll see
Here we go...I just found the Yema strap and did a quick strap change...
What's the verdict?
Both straps are nice Mel, I will vote for the Yema strap as the winner!
That's a crazy watch. I like it. 🤜

Very nice Mel. Love how the stitching on the leather band matches the subdial.
Congratulations on finding this. The Astrochron is a fabulous watch, regardless of movement, and is VERY desirable with the Valjoux 72 of which only about 100 were made. Yours seems to be in excellent good condition with the original hands, crown and bakelite bezel.

Thanks - yes Valjoux 72 would be an awesome find.
