Guildcrest is one of those US brands that came and went in the 60's and 70's, Guildcrest essentially white labelled various models, this one being a Zodiac chronograph. A few brands did the same during that time period, 60 years on and they all remain more elusive than their base watch counterparts.

This example has survived in tremendous condition, the grey painted dial is near perfect. The white subdials have some small black marks thats are near indistinguishable to the naked eye. 

The Chronograph houses a Valjoiux 7734 which has recently been serviced and is running like a dream. +3 s/d, 250 amps, with a beat error of 0.3
