·Lemania Chronograph BBC Issued
This unusual Lemania chronograph is in fabulous condition with a strong radial brush finish on the plated case and an engraving on the caseback that is from its life at the British Broadcasting Company.
I believe these watches were issued to outside broadcasters for use in the field, and much like military watches returned to stores when not in use. Here is an interesting thread with insights into there use

There are a few of these BBC watches in collectors hands, and various models have been used. This is one of the last few that were purchased before the practice came to an end.
The Case
The case is plated with a radial brush finish, and the case back is clearly engraved with BBC and the stock number. All original and unpolished and in great condition.
The Movement
The movement is clean and bright and working well. No service history
The Dial
The dial is beautiful with a blue finish and grey sub dials. Orange chronograph hands for the seconds and minutes, and Omega style baton hands for the hours and minutes.
The Price
I am asking£1500 £1450 plus p&p for this rare and interesting bit of horological history and will post worldwide at cost with UPS or Fed Ex and can insure with Parcel Pro
