Rodania Geometer “Albino” chronograph reference 5621H. We are proud to offer this very rare and refined Geometer chronograph issued by Rodania, a model that enjoys a well-earned cult status in the watch collecting community.
The Geometer was first introduced circa 1954, i.e. three whole years prior to the launch of the original Speedmaster 2915. In that chronological perspective, some collectors may argue that the legendary Geometer is believed to be the influential driving force behind the design concept. Unfortunately, Rodania never achieved stardom outside of its Geometer lineup, while Omega was very successful in scaling and selling the Speedmaster 2915. The total production of the Rodania Geometer is estimated by scholars to be less than a thousand examples. Please read the condition report carefully and refer to the high-resolution pictures to help you assess the overall condition of the watch.
MODEL / REFERENCE: Rodania Geometer chronograph with an “albino” dial, reference 5621H.
DIAL+HANDS:
CRYSTAL: The acrylic crystal is in very good condition, showing no chips or major scratches.
CASE: The stainless steel Geometer’s case boasts a sweet spot diameter of 38mm, with slightly downturned lugs that gently hug the wrist, making it supremely comfortable to wear. Lug to lug, it measures 45 mm. We can safely say that this watch was put to good use, as per the substantial amount of “battle scars”. It maintains a strong profile and even lugs.
CASE BACK: The stainless steel, screw-down case back has a distinctive tetra-decagonal shape and some visible scratches but no major damage. Just like the case, it appears to have been lightly polished before. The Rodania medallion at the center is still intact and very well defined. The inner side is clean, decorated with a concentric pattern and bears the stamps.
CROWN + PUSHERS: The domed crown is correct to this “Albino” variant and bears the Rodania signature at the center. It functions flawlessly, from winding to time setting. The pump chronograph pushers are original as well, they start, stop and reset the chronograph module crisply.
MOVEMENT: The case houses a modified Valjoux 72, which is adjusted to three positions, a feat rarely seen outside of Rolex during the 1950s. The manually wound, rhodium plated calibre features a two-button, three-register, chronograph layout and a column wheel. It uses running small seconds at 9 o’clock, a central seconds hand and two recording subdials positioned respectively at 3 and 6 o’clock positions. This formidable movement is signed and has been checked. It runs strong, keeps good time and the chronograph functions work as intended. BRACELET: The watch is paired with a hand made, 20mm caramel strap with white stitching work and an unsigned stainless steel pin buckle.ACCESSORIES: Saffiano Leather Watch Roll.
