Lemania, founded by Alfred Lugrin in 1884, stands as a cornerstone of vintage chronographs. This particular piece, a mono pusher chronograph created for the British Armed Forces, represents a fascinating period in Lemania’s history, highlighting its role as a trusted supplier of military-grade timepieces worldwide. This Series II model, featuring a symmetrical steel case and 38mm fixed lugs, was issued to the "Hydrographic Service" before being reallocated to the British Royal Navy, marked by its “HS/|\9” designation, later struck through and re-engraved as “0552/924-3305.”
This watch houses Lemania’s gilt-finished 15CHT manual wind movement and is paired with a luminous black dial, displaying an orange patina. The patina harmonizes beautifully with the pencil-style hands, embodying the essence of a genuine military tool watch. This iconic piece, fully serviced by our watchmaker, comes on a single-pass military-style strap and is ready to add historical gravitas to any collection.
