En état de marche, bon état. A STAINLESS STEEL WRISTWATCH ROLEX CHRONOGRAPHE ANTI-MAGNETIQUE REF. 2508. First launched in the mid 1930s, reference 2508 was Rolex’s very first wristwatch to feature two chronograph registers, as well as two buttons to operate the mechanism. The reference can generally be divided into two series. While those from the first generation feature ‘olive’ pushers and a larger case size, second generation examples feature flat pushers and a relatively smaller case diameter. At the time of production, the relatively large case size was incredibly unusual for the period. Yet, the model exudes a modern appearance today. This watch is an excellent example of a second generation reference 2508. Fitted with elegant « rectangular » pushers, it most notably features both telemeter and tachymeter scales on the dial. Reference 2508 typically displays a simple dial layout.
