Rodania Chronograph - Blue Dial
A High Point Of 1970s Design
Rodania was a classic Swiss watchmaker that delivered strong designs and reliable movements, often providing a compelling alternative to the household names of the era. This automatic chronograph from the 1970s is a perfect example of their work. It captures the bold spirit of the decade with a confident 38mm case and a dial that uses color and contrast to great effect. The layout is balanced with a practical, non-quickset date display at the three o'clock position.
Color, Contrast, And Character
This example stands out because of its vibrant and well-balanced dial. The deep blue sunburst finish provides the perfect background for the crisp white hands and the contrasting white subdial at six o'clock. A flash of orange on the 12 o'clock counter hand adds just the right amount of sport-oriented character. The design is legible, functional, and carries a visual punch that feels just as relevant today.
An Untouched And Honest Example
The watch presents in great cosmetic condition, with a steel case that appears untouched. The blue sunburst dial is clean, and the lume in the hands and on the hour plots remains intact. It is fitted with an aftermarket steel integrated-style bracelet that complements the 1970s case shape. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Smart Vintage Chronograph
This is the right watch for someone who appreciates the design language of vintage chronographs but wants something less common. It offers a robust automatic movement and a standout colorway in a case size that wears perfectly by modern standards. It is a piece that delivers all the charisma of its era without the associated premium of the bigger brand names, making it a smart and stylish choice.

What Our Clients Say About Us
I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)
Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.
This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
