The CASD comes in many forms as recently highlighted in the book Chronomaster Only.
First released in 1961 under brands Croton and Nivada Grenchen, initially with ‘Chronograph’ instead of ‘Chronomaster’ on the dial, later generations would see variations in the dial branding, hands and movement calibre.
