Dear All

For sale is this Lemania Series II Fleet Air Arm Military Chronograph Wristwatch c.1950

As many of you may know these fabulous watches were issued to pilots and navigators of the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm between 1945 and 1970.

These beautiful chronographs were issued in three series. The watch for sale is a Lemania series II example which dates it from around 1950 to 1955 and was issued to the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm, indicated by the NATO stock number of 0552/924-3305 on the reverse of the case. The series II examples all had a round case with mostly black dials and featured the 15 CHT non-shock-protected movement.

Sadly, the Lemania watch company is no longer in existence but it has become something of a cult brand in recent years and its watches are very much cherished by collectors. Lemania supplied a number of different armed forces from all over the world. Their movements are extremely well made and are renowned for keeping excellent time, making them a good fit for a rugged life in the services.

The watch for sale is in excellent overall condition having been recently serviced by one of our highly skilled and experienced horologists.

The dial is in lovely original condition with no obvious flaws or blemishes.

The hands, crown and pusher are all correct to the original specification of the watch.

The casing is in excellent condition with very few noticeable marks or scratches. The original glass has one or two very light scratches in places.

The gilded 15CHT calibre movement is in very good condition and is currently running well and keeping excellent time.

The watch size is 38mm (excl. crown).
