More information
This Lemania with case number 152 is a vintage chronograph from around 1960 that is sought after by collectors today, not least because of its military-inspired aesthetics and its unique dial. Lemania, founded in 1884 by Alfred Lugrin, was a Swiss manufacturer of high-quality movements and chronographs, and supplied calibers to Omega - including the famous movement used in the Speedmaster. Over time, the dial has developed what is known as a "tropical" patina - a warm brown tone that naturally occurs through exposure to sunlight and humidity, making each example truly unique.
