This classic Lemania chronograph from the 1940s is a remarkable example of the early era of mechanical timepieces with stopwatch function – and a true rarity in such exceptional condition. Despite being over 80 years old, the watch presents itself in impressively original condition and radiates the timeless elegance Lemania is known for.
The silver dial captivates with its two-tone design: the subdials appear subtly recessed depending on the light, adding visual depth. A fine red telemeter scale and a blue tachymeter scale emphasize the functional, technically inspired character of this chronograph. The blued hands add a refined touch of color and provide elegant contrast against the bright dial.
The 37 mm stainless steel case with its olive-shaped pushers features classic proportions and sits comfortably and confidently on the wrist – a perfect format that captures the spirit of the 1940s while also meeting today’s standards of style and wearability.
Inside ticks the reliable Lemania caliber 15 TL – a high-grade hand-wound movement renowned for its precision and durability, also used in military timepieces.
This Lemania chronograph is a refined witness of its time and a collector’s piece with elegant presence. It combines historical relevance, technical finesse, and classic aesthetics in an impressive way.
