Diving deep into the watch boxes again today...it's a vintage 1970s Hadra-Geneve chronograph running the ubiquitous manual Valjoux 7734...

Looks great on the rally strap
Very nice find, that hansome Petrol blue dial and orange hands tie in the racing 70s vibe.
Looking good out there Mel !

Thanks Raymond!
Okay. That watch had me at the sub-registers. The character they provide to the dial is that their shape (as well as the white border and orange hand) ties it all together plus, of course, the rally band!

Thanks! Very observant...most would miss the importance of that white border on the subdials and how it makes them pop. I love also that it has the date window at the six which is typical for the 7734.
The credit for the pairing of the color and style of the rally strap goes to my favorite European dealers Sigfrid and Silvia at Watches83.com. I believe they picked this strap up from Watch Gecko to pair it with the watch.

I’ve been staring at this for a while. The tachy (?) ring / crystal light play is sublime. The stripe across the 12 baton is wow. Someone was on their game in design.
SWEET! That's irresistible! I'm not going to track one down, unless I can't sleep and I start looking. 🤣
Great sunburst dial with orange accents!
