MultiChron Pilot
Introduced in 1939
The Pilot, one of Gallet's most popular racing and aviation chronographs, is characterized by its 2 or 3 subsidiary registers, rotating 12-hour time zone bezel, and telemeter & tachymeter scales printed on the periphery of the dial. The Pilot model was first powered by the Venus calibre 150, then the famous Valjoux calibre 72 with a few examples utilizing Excelsior Park movements. Later examples from the 1970's to the early 1980's incorporated the Valjoux calibre 7736.
