EXCELSIOR PARK EP40 Chronograph – 1970

A splendid and seldom-seen Excelsior Park EP40 chronograph dating to the early 1970s, this striking timepiece showcases all the hallmarks of that vibrant era in watchmaking. The robust, tonneau-shaped steel case remains in crisp condition, framing a deep blue dial whose vivid color is perfectly complemented by a bold red chronograph sweep hand. Two subsidiary registers, finished in a lighter shade of blue, provide excellent legibility and balance the dial layout beautifully. Under the hood beats the renowned Excelsior Park EP40 manual-wind caliber, prized among collectors for its precision and smooth operation. Pump-style pushers, a sharply defined bezel ring with 12-hour markings, and an attractive set of faceted hour markers and hands complete the vintage appeal. Presented on a matching blue strap, this EP40 stands as a fine example of 1970s design and mechanical craftsmanship—an outstanding choice for the discerning enthusiast.
