Announced in early 2022, the Massena Lab Geometer Chronograph is a tribute to what they consider “a little-known vintage chronograph, which has long been considered something of a grail watch for a niche of vintage watch enthusiasts and collectors”. The watch in question is the Rodania Geometer, a notoriously difficult to find chronograph launched in 1954 that bears a striking resemblance to the Omega Speedmaster, a watch that only released in 1957. Launched as a 99-piece limited edition collection, the Massena Lab Geometer takes direct inspiration from the Rodania Geometer, with all of its aesthetic attributes directly derived from its mid-century inspiration. Boasting a 39mm stainless steel case that stands 9mm tall, the Geometer features a domed acrylic crystal that boasts anti-scratch treatment and resides above a tropical tri-compax display that echos the aged appearance of the black dial examples of the Rodania Geometer. Powered by the manual-wind Sellitea cal. SW510 M Elaboré movement, the Geometer is a wonderful fusion of mid-century design aesthetics and modern horology. All in all, the Geometer features the level of detail required to produce a masterful remake of the watches of yesteryear, something Massena Labs has shown time and time again that they are more than capable of achieving.

Watch is in near-mint condition, with minor signs of use. There are minor areas of wear visible on the edges of the strap. Watch comes with original box and papers.

A modern interpretation of one of vintage watch collecting's lesser-known cult classics, the Massena Lab Geometer pays careful tribute to a mid-century chronograph that may or may not have inspired the Omega Speedmaster itself.
