FS: Lemania Viggen - Swedish Air Force watch

Hi,

Got this early MK1 Lemania Viggen, recently serviced with warranty by known watchmaker.
The watch was used by Swedish jetpilots of the Saab J37 Viggen, a highly respected fighter jet.

The Swedish Airforce ordered 400 watches from Lemania in the early 70's.
They did order them in two batches and my one is from the first batch aka MK1.
The caseback carries the issued number as well as the Swedish Three Crowns.

At this point there's only 50 known examples "alive".

Amazing untouched exterior and a absolutely flawless dial, original hands and bezel.
Perfect match between hands and dial, bezel lights up and fades out in the same time as the lume on the dial.

Original plexiglass is mounted with some wear and tear but a NOS is attached with the watch.

Watch located in Sweden
The price is 14.000 usd obro.
Lowball offers will not be answered, this is a true rare bird.
References available from TRF, VRM and from several well known dealers.
Return if not Genuine Lemania.

Shipped inside EU insured at cost.
Payment by bank wire only.
