A characterful French-market vintage chronograph with a desirable 1970s skin diver aesthetic and the respected Valjoux 7734 movement.
BERLOC was a relatively obscure French watch brand associated with Lyon and the vintage watch market of the 1960s and 1970s. The name is reportedly linked to Berlier Location, although detailed historical documentation remains scarce. Berloc-branded watches are known with a variety of Swiss movements, reflecting the collaborative manufacturing practices common among smaller watch brands of the period. This particular chronograph combines the distinctive French skin diver aesthetic with the respected manual-winding Valjoux 7734 movement.
