Summary
This is a beautiful all-original early 1970's Tissot Navigator with a rare Lemania 5012 chronograph movement and fantastic blue dial. This watch was Fully Serviced by ClockSavant. The Lemania 5012 is a very similar but rare variant of the Lemania 5100. Omega used the Lemania 5100 in its watches, naming it the calibre 1045. This movement was revolutionary in many respects and was designed to be used under difficult conditions by police, military personnel, and other emergency personnel performing their jobs under difficult conditions. Its use of plastic and delrin is poorly understood by some, incorrectly confusing it with cheap construction. Delrin is a very robust material that can withstand significant shock. Other innovations of this movement include an easy to read central chronograph minute counter (the hand with the arrow on it), hour counter, and vertical clutch design. After completing its stay in the ClockSavant spa and retreat, it is now running and functioning superbly and with outstanding accuracy. It is paired with a very high quality Heuer Carrera leather rally style strap of the same era. This watch was originally sold in a country where Spanish was the primary language and, therefore, the day wheel is in Spanish.
