FS: 1950s Lemania Triple scale chrono (pulsometer, tachy, tele)

Up for sale is this exceptional and scarce Lemania chronograph with a 27 CHRO 12C movement, the ancester of the Omega 321.

Contact me for more info about the watch. You will find more details and my last additions here: https://sabiwatches.com/category/watches/in-stock

--------------------------------------------------------

Lemania has produced some of the finest chronograph movements, including the 27 CHRO 12C, the ancester of the mythical Omega 321. But Lemania has also produced some great watches, and a few exceptional ones. This striking and unique chronograph from the early 50s is one of them.

Inside a lightly worn, but unpolished 36mm steel case with a screwed caseback and round pushers, Lemania has placed a 27 CHRO 12C under an incredible (and we mean incredible) tricolor triple scale dial. Yes, this dial features a telemeter, a tachymeter, but also a pulsometer. Each scale in a distinct color makes the overall perfectly readable, aesthetically pleasing and ultra-rare. The golden numeral indexes and hands just add to the “wow” effect.

Look twice, you may not come across another one soon.

Details

Brand: Lemania
Model: Triple scale chronograph
Year: Circa 1950
Case materiel: Stainless steel
Movement: Manual, 27 CHRO 12C

Condition

Overall condition is excellent. The dial is flawless, the case shows very little wear and remains unpolished (look at that crispy bezel). The movement was serviced, as usual.

I am asking 6800€ for this unique piece. The watch and myself are in France.
