Le Cheminant triple date moonphase watches are becoming rarer and hard to find. I was lucky to find this watch and even luckier that its dial is still in such good condition. It has four inset pushers 2, 4, 8 and 9 hour positions for adjusting day, month, moonphase and date hand. The watch is fitted with the rare Felsa 693 automatic movement which was used in many of the more expensive moonphase watches in the 50s and 60s. This is one of the earlier triple date watches produced by Le Cheminant, as it has the gold (almost like a hologram) moonphase dial, the later ones had the blue moonphase dial.
