Named for Nina Rindt, who wore hers at the trackside timing her husband Jochen Rindt's races. A short production run in the mid-1960s and one of the most valuable watches in this expansion. The critical structural fact for authentication is that the VALUE IS IN THE DIAL: the case and the Valjoux 72 are shared with much cheaper Universal Genève references, so the profitable fraud is not a counterfeit watch but a correct watch fitted with a Nina Rindt dial.
