Gallet’s current Tribute to Multichron 45 is a separate modern watch, not the original: it has a Breitling B09 caliber and a 30-minute counter. That distinction matters whether you are researching the historic watch or considering a purchase.
What is the Gallet MultiChron 45M?
GalletWorld’s archival reference describes the MultiChron 45M as a stainless-steel, manually wound chronograph introduced in 1942. It lists a 37.5 mm case and an Excelsior Park 4 caliber, with a counter designed to record up to 45 minutes. These are secondary-source descriptions of the vintage model; the reference also lists examples or variants associated with uses including racing, aviation, military, scientific and medical work. Do not assume every surviving watch has identical details. GalletWorld’s MultiChron 45M reference
Gallet’s own historical framing says the MultiChron 45 was designed for precise interval timing and used in aviation and racing. That establishes the brand’s account of the model’s purpose, but does not by itself document the history or provenance of an individual watch. Gallet’s Tribute to Multichron 45 page
What movement is in the vintage MultiChron 45?
The specialist reference identifies the vintage 45M’s movement as the manual-wind Excelsior Park 4 chronograph caliber. Because surviving examples can vary, verify the movement in the specific watch rather than relying only on a seller’s model description. The cited reference does not establish a serial-number dating method or guidance for matching movement and case serials.

How does the modern Tribute differ?
Gallet’s current Tribute takes the historic name and broad chronograph theme into a substantially different watch. Its official US product page lists reference AG0910121B1X1 and a Breitling B09 manufacture caliber, rather than the vintage watch’s Excelsior Park 4. Its chronograph records 30 minutes, not 45. The two should not be treated as the same watch or as a specification-for-specification reproduction. Gallet’s Tribute to Multichron 45 specifications
| Specification | Vintage MultiChron 45M | Modern Tribute to Multichron 45 |
|---|---|---|
| Movement | Manual-wind Excelsior Park 4, according to GalletWorld’s specialist reference | Manual-wind Breitling B09 manufacture caliber, according to Gallet |
| Chronograph recording capacity | 45 minutes, according to GalletWorld | 30 minutes, according to Gallet |
| Case diameter | 37.5 mm, according to GalletWorld | 38 mm, according to Gallet |
| Other stated case detail | Stainless steel; thickness and water resistance not stated in the cited vintage reference | Stainless steel; 12.5 mm thick, according to Gallet |
| Water resistance | Not established for all vintage variants | 10 bars / 100 m / 330 ft, according to Gallet |
| Power reserve | Not stated in the cited vintage reference | Approximately 70 hours, according to Gallet |
| Price | No defensible current market range established | USD 6,700 excluding sales tax on Gallet’s US page at the time of access; price and availability can change |
The modern Tribute’s additional official specifications include a 1/4-second chronograph. Its water-resistance claim applies to that modern model only; it should not be projected onto a vintage 45M. The brand’s product information and price can change, so check the current official listing before buying.

What to check before buying a vintage example
No current market price range or independent authentication of any sale listing is established here. GalletWorld’s historical valuations are not current market evidence. Evaluate a particular watch on its own evidence rather than treating a reference description as proof of authenticity or condition.
- Movement identity: Ask for clear movement photographs and confirm that the caliber matches the seller’s description.
- Dial and parts: Request detailed images and ask what is known about originality, replacements or refinishing.
- Case condition: Look closely at wear, corrosion, polishing and any damage, and seek an in-person assessment when possible.
- Documentation and service: Ask for provenance records and a service history, while distinguishing documented facts from seller claims.
- Variant details: Compare the specific watch with reliable reference material; the listed vintage examples are not proof that every variant shared identical specifications.
What is established about Gallet today?
Gallet’s press lounge says the company was founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, in 1826 by Julien Gallet, and that the brand is now manufactured by Breitling. The press page describes a 2026 return and Breitling infrastructure and service context. This is useful for understanding the current brand and modern Tribute, but it is not detailed provenance for a particular vintage MultiChron 45M. Gallet press lounge
