Dodane type 11a ???

[Omikron man]

Purchase it today because unique military style.
I found posts about Dodane type 11 on French forums ... but this type is hard to find especially with this movement.Movement inside of it is like new without any signs of repairing and it is very precise watch.
Can anybody help me for more information about movement or watch.

Looks like a dashboard clock/chronograph for an aeroplane or possibly a car.....

French Watchmaker DODANE has a long military tradition, its clocks has been largely used by the Navy, Air Forces as well as NATO forces, this clock is still flying the Mirage F-1 in Spain and other countries.
This DODANE TYPE 11, is one of the last mechanical clock ever built for aircraft. All TYPE 11 clocks as Breguet and others manufactorers are equiped with a Valjoux 551 movement.
This clock shows the time, it has a chronometer with a 15 minutes counter and moving the outer bezel we can record the take off time.

I just had an email exchange with Laurent Dodane and he mentioned the type II in passing. My question was about dive watches they made for CWC, but he was extremely helpful. He had mentioned making parts for the type II, but from the looks of things their involvement must have been greater given the dial is signed Dodane.

By any chance would your email exchange have had anything to do with this watch?


As you can see from below, the watch has both F.G. (Fin du Garantie) and pheon markings, making it a bit of a strange one.


Been looking for info on this watch for a while, any help would be appreciated

*Sorry for the hijack!*

He did mention a 1000 meter that he said he did for CWC, but along in passing, like the typeII clock. Have you tried contacting Laurent about the watch yet? This goes for both you, Colin, and the OP.

I haven't - can you PM me his email addy?
When I posted this watch on MWR a few years ago, I got the sense that it was made for CWC for RN issue, but the deal ended up not going through and the watches went elsewhere. Would be nice to get confirmation of this. I've seen a few of these with similar markings (including the wonky pheon), so I suspect they ended up issued to another agency/department/ministry.
