Second Series
Perpetual Calendar 2499 — Second Series
c. 1955–c. 1960
Round pushers, easier to seal against water, replace the square ones; the tachymeter stays, and the hour markers are applied Arabic numerals or, increasingly, faceted batons. Wenger made most cases. Some carry retailer double signatures such as Tiffany.
