Summary
|
This is a rare and beautiful one button Lemania 15CHT 15TL (same as Omega 33.3, Lemania and Omega worked together) calibre vintage chronograph in pristine condition. These vintage watches were used extensively by military personnel in more affluent countries across the world for decades, beginning in the early 1930’s. They were valued greatly for their extreme robustness and reliability. The watch is large, easy to read, and will make your day every time you wear it with the strength, confidence, and aged charm it projects. Its movement is in immaculate condition and has been worked on by nothing but outstanding watchmakers from what we can see. Our best estimate is that this watch dates-back to the 1950’s. This is a pristine example of the Lemania 15CHT 15TL vintage chronograph. The watch was very well cared for. The movement condition reflects excellent work by past watchmakers.
