George J Von Burg Valjoux 7750 Chronograph

I picked up this watch a while back, but hadn’t gotten around to posting a short review on it. GJVB is a small swiss watch company that makes their cases and fits them with Valjoux 7750 Chronograph movements. All their watches use some variation of the 775x series of movements, and they all use the same case with different dial and hand combinations.

This one is the Sports model with white dial. One of the nicest features of this watch is the fine black out-lined hands, which looks fantastic against the white dial. The case measures a modest (by today’s standards) 40mm diameter, but is plenty wide enough for my wrist size and in fact is quite well suited to me.

Il bracciale è tutto inossidabile, così, come io preferisco il braccialetto sui modelli cinghia. Sembra che non importa quanto cerco di entrare in corto di orologi, il bracciale mi chiama sempre indietro. Oltre Panerais e gravi solidi orologi vestito d'oro, io non riesco ad abituarmi a tutte le altre cinghie di orologi. Il caso pienamente lucida sul Von Burg si sposa molto bene con l'orologio, dandogli qualche presenza, ma ancora un aspetto molto sobrio generale.

The body, while only 40mm in diameter, is quite long so sits bigger on the wrist than many 40mm watches do. Lume is very strong, with numbers and three central hands all glowing. Day-date is typical Valjoux 7750 configuration, and works correctly. Not much else to say other than at secondary market pricing around $500 for this watch is a fantastic deal. Quite a bit more satisfying than many other Hamilton and other brands of Valjoux 7750 watches for some reason. The quality of the bracelet is quite good. I’ve always felt that Hamilton lacked in that area a bit.
