This is a vintage Chronographe Suisse watch.
“Chronographe Suisse” (literally “Swiss Chronograph”) wasn’t a single brand but rather a generic name used by a group of small workshops in Switzerland, mainly during the 1940s–1960s. They produced affordable chronographs that were often sold under this generic name or rebranded by jewelers.
