1980s Gallet Multichron 12 Automatic Chronograph PVD 'Valjoux Cal. 7750' "Top Gun"

In the hit 1980's movie "Top Gun," LT Pete "Maverick" Mitchell (played by Tom Cruise) wears a black PVD-cased watch that became iconic immediately following its release. That particular watch was made by Orfina (branded under Porsche Design). But there have been several other brands that have made their own versions, including LeJour (manufactured by Heuer) and Gallet.
