Both have a pillar wheel chronograph, both have been encased in Navitimer . V72 derivated from V23, has been declined in many versions and used by many brands . Venus 178 , an evolution of Venus 175 , has been less extensively used and only by few brands. |

Valjoux 72 for me mainly because many brands of that era used them including Rolex, which used them on their triple dates and Daytonas. But the V178 is a classic movement too. |

I have worked on 100s of both of them. They both have some shortcomings but I would have to choose the R72 as the best one based on the hour counter design. It is less problematic than the one in the V178. |
