Aesthetically, it doesn’t hit a sour note. The extremely rare 39mm case (most of these are found in 37mm size) is the perfect size for daily wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe white-on-black “reverse panda” color way offers a stark counterpart to the case’s curves in a way that is simply eye-catching. The dial is dynamic without feeling cluttered, with crisp printing punctuated by deeply patinated indicies. For those who love a hidden detail - the nautical themed caseback engraving is sharp and clear.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eInternally, this chrono is powered by the Valjoux Calibre 730, a variant of the ever-popular Valjoux 72 that encompasses a calendar complication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile triple calendars from Universal Genève cause a furor among the vintage watch community, true cognoscenti know the value in less recognizable names - Wakmann chief among them. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAmong complications, a triple calendar is perhaps the most popular—particularly when combined with a chronograph. Employed by manufactures from all spectrums of the industry, from the top tier (such as Patek Philippe) to the mid-range, the triple calendar chronograph is as ubiquitous as it is visually appealing. Nowhere else is so much information displayed with such grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eWhile certain example can trend toward the dressy, those made by Breitling and its subsidiary, Wakmann, are sportier iterations that today’s collectors particularly love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eStarting in the 1940s, Breitling released the Datora, a chronograph that showed both the day and the date as well as the month. The model was a success, and the design was used by other manufactures, including Heuer. But it was under Breitling’s U.S.-based distributor, Wakmann, that the most popular variant of triple calendar chronograph was produced.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wakmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31410189697111,"sku":null,"price":3950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/WAKMANN_TRIPLE_CALENDAR_CHRONOGRAPH_AS03543_6.jpg?v=1578515635","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/wakmann-triple-calendar-chronograph-as03543","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
