Introducing the Guinand DuoIndikator Big Pilot Chronograph
Guinand is a brand that?s gotten its fair share of well-deserved coverage here on Worn & Wound.

It?s a neat way to keep that oh-so-desirable dial symmetry without tossing the functionality of a running seconds. The stainless steel case measures 42.66 millimeters wide, 49.7 millimeters lug-to-lug, 15.6 millimeters thick, and 22 millimeters at the lugs. The case can be had in a polished or bead-blaste...
