Era una submarca en los 70 de la Langel Watch Company de Biel en Suiza.

Gaston J. Langel, fundó la Langel wach co en 1947 registrandola en 1951.

Vialux se registró Mas tarde como submarca Comercial de Langel en 1968

Sus modelos mas caracteristicos Fueron los Vialux «Super», Manuales para señora y caballero

Con diseños Clasicos y sobrios, que pronto acabarian tomando un tinte mas Audáz  Añadiendo el doble datario

en sus versiones Automáticas  setenteras, al estilo Tressa.

EL VIALUX  DATALARM SUPER

Dentro de la gama SUPER, un modelo muy apreciado son los Data Alarm De doble corona.

Ambas coronas Solían venir Fimadas con la V característica de la marca

Las versiones Super Datalarm, No disponian de doble datario pero a cambio venían con mecanismo de alarma configurable

en su segunda corona, y como todos los relojes mecanicos del periodo que incorporan dicha función son altamente coleccionables.

VIALUX AUDACIEUSE

Vialux es Una marca fetiche para mi, ya que en 1972 tambien fué Franquicia de Los Spaceman Audacieuse.

En 1973 Vialux Comenzó a publicitarse Como marca de relojes resistentes al agua y fruto de aquello

La gama Super se actualizó con resistencia a 20 atmosferas

VIALUX

Gaston J. Langel from Biel (Switzerland), its a company established in 1947.

Since 1951 is has been registered under Langel Watch Co. SA.

As from 1968 the company is registered as Vialux-Langel Watch Co. SA, with Langel as the brand name.

The most Usual Models from the brand were  the Vialux «Super» Manuals for men and women

Classic designs and sober, soon end up taking a bolder look, Adding Doble date functions in their seventies Counterparts Automatic updates, Tressa style.

Within the range SUPER,  prized Models are The Data Alarm Double crowns,

Both crowns used to come Signed with the Characteristic V featured of the Brand.

Super Datalarm versions, apparently  did not feature Double Date Function, but instead came with configurable alarm mechanism in its second crown, and like all mechanical Watches from the period that incorporate this feature, are highly collectibles.

AUDACIEUSE VIALUX

Vialux is a fetish Brand for me, as in 1972 was also Franchise from The Spaceman Audacieuse Models.

Ancient Divers

In 1973 they had an advertisement stating that they were specialised in waterproof ultra flat watches with and without date.

As a result of that,  the Super line of watches was updated to an Automatic  Etasa 2452

and a wooping resistance for the period of 20 atmospheres.

Enjoy the beauty of this unit from a very great friend (Photos Vegaban)

Unfortunately,

The company went bankrupt in the end of 2004.
