SZANTO Ref. 2002 Chronograph Wristwatch NOS | 46mm | Original Box, Tag & Booklet
ITEM-2695

Product Details
Offered here is a SZANTO Reference 2002 Chronograph Wristwatch in New Old Stock (NOS) condition, complete with its original box, hang tag, and booklet. With its substantial 46mm stainless steel case, warm ivory dial, and vintage-inspired chronograph styling, this watch offers a bold wrist presence while drawing inspiration from classic military and instrument watches.
The ivory dial is particularly attractive, combining large, highly legible Arabic numerals with distinctive syringe-style hands. Multiple displays provide both visual interest and useful functionality, including a subsidiary seconds dial, 30-minute chronograph register, 24-hour subdial, and date window.
The substantial round stainless steel case measures 46mm across without the crown and features a secure screw-back construction. Paired with a traditional leather strap, the watch balances its oversized proportions with a classic vintage-inspired appearance.
Inside is a dependable quartz movement, providing accurate and convenient timekeeping with minimal maintenance. The chronograph complication adds stopwatch functionality while maintaining the straightforward operation expected from a modern quartz watch.
Most importantly, this example is offered as New Old Stock. The case and dial remain in as-new condition, making it especially appealing to collectors looking for an unworn or exceptionally well-preserved SZANTO. The watch retains its original box, factory hang tag, and booklet.
Please note that although the watch itself is New Old Stock, the original box does show some storage wear. This is cosmetic to the packaging and does not affect the condition of the watch.

Why Consider
the SZANTO Ref. 2002?
The SZANTO Ref. 2002
combines the visual character of a vintage instrument watch with the
convenience and reliability of a modern quartz chronograph.
Its 46mm case provides a
commanding wrist presence, while the ivory dial, Arabic numerals, syringe
hands, and contrasting subdials give the watch a distinctive vintage
military-inspired appearance. The chronograph, date, subsidiary seconds, and
24-hour displays also provide significantly more functionality than a
conventional three-hand watch.
What makes
this example especially attractive is its New Old Stock condition and original accessories.
Finding discontinued or older-production watches preserved with their original
box, hang tag, and booklet becomes increasingly difficult over time, making
complete NOS examples particularly appealing to collectors.
