Construction and Dimensions

The Clebar chronograph is housed in a polished-finish case measuring 35 mm in diameter, 42.6 mm lug-to-lug, and 13 mm in thickness. The case features a stainless steel back and is equipped with a fluted crown flanked by two rectangular chronograph pushers.

The watch is presented on a blue leather strap. Note that the source description claims the watch includes a brand-new green full-grain leather strap, which does not match the provided visual record.

Open research questions

  • What is the archival correlation between serial number 361672 and specific production years for Clebar?
  • Can the discrepancy between the documented strap (green) and the photographed strap (blue) be reconciled through the seller?
  • Does the movement possess the claimed 'Clebar' signature, as the movement internals are not visible in the provided photograph?
