Chronograph Valjoux 236 Broad Arrow
The Chronograph Valjoux 236 Broad Arrow is a 38 mm 316 stainless steel chronograph built around a Valjoux 236 VZ, a hand-wound column-wheel calibre that the page says was produced from 1916 to 1974. These are new old stock movements, reconditioned and tested before casing, and shown through a sapphire caseback. It has a black dial, and the reserve is given as 48 hours. The page limits it to 25 numbered pieces.

Collector photographs
Taken by people who own this reference: their light, their wear, their patina. Not the maker’s photography. Where the maker hasn’t given us a photograph, one of these is shown as the main image above, always credited. A few are the Atlas’s own, and say so.
If this watch is in your collection, yours would be the first. A photograph on the wrist shows what a studio image cannot: scale, wear, and how the piece has actually aged.

How to get one
The maker's page for this exact reference, the same page this catalogue's specifications are sourced from. It was a limited edition of 25, so the page may no longer offer it for sale.
Nivada Grenchen publishes its current collection and its retailer or service network on its own site. Start there for what is actually in production; this catalogue records references whether or not they are still sold.
Check the reference number against the maker's own page before buying anywhere else. It is the one detail that is hard to fake and easy to verify, and it is what the specifications on this page are keyed to.
