: movement. This was the favorite chronograph movement of Chuck
: Maddox. For those of you who read with interest his very
: informative articles, Chuck spelled out why he preferred the
: Lemania 5100 chronograph movement over the Valjoux 77xx. Like
: Chuck I also prefer the L 5100. Currently you can only find the
: L. 5100 in several models by Tutima. They have held the
: government contract to supply Air Force military chronographs to
: the German AF since 1985. About a dozen big name firms competed,
: and like with Omega's Moonwatch with NASA, the watches were
: subjected to very severe testing requirements by the German
: military. Why am I writing this. Simple, I'm waiting on UPS to
: deliver my fourth Tutima model with the L. 5100.
Omega used the L5100 as the ca 1041-1041-1045 in the 70's with the automatic Speedmasters for those wanting day, day/date.
