From the famous house of Lemania comes this beautifully preserved 1950’s solid stainless steel military style chronograph in wonderful unpolished, lightly used condition housing the in-house caliber CH27 movement and gorgeous original factory printed dial. This example must have sat decades in a box because there are very little signs of wear throughout with sharp edges on the case and a movement within that is clean and sharp as the day it was made. It has just been freshly serviced here at our Meticulous workshop, running beautifully and keeping excellent time with all of the chronograph functions working to spec. I just love that original dial with the old style Lemania signature, outer Base 1000 tachymeter track in red and perfectly aged luminous to give it that unmistakable vintage feel.
