    Had a great day out with @JohnSteed today, and one of the many fine vintage we saw was this one.

    Although not an Omega, Lemania made movements for Omega, so I am hoping some vintage Omega and Lemania chrono buffs might shed some light on this one:

    I quite like the look and size, all functions works perfectly, and it appears to have a nice clean movement. The seller wants $2400. Yes, the dial edges have some green patina at 4 and 5, and between 12 and 1.

    I can't help on this one but Lemania chronographs are Under valuated right now and i am quite sure that in the next few years it will follow the trends we observed with the speedy and other vintahe chronographe. Now, the condition contidition condition rule will always drive the market and for me this one is far from a very nice one. But if you like it ...that's the most important thing !

    These were typically issued for used by the British Royal Navy - tell tale HS9 engraving on the back. Should be a 15tl movement inside, I've got a 15cht one pusher variant of it.

    I do love the cool-shaped pushers on this one, seem rather unique...

    Now that u mentioned it, I've not seen these pushers on HS9 type pieces, so it could be a civilian version instead.

    Civilian TL15 Chrono.
    Any pictures of the case back?
    The oval pushers are common for the 30s and 40s. The movement has inca shock protection so quite late variant of the cal 15. Omega used the caliber as the 33.3.
    Serial 36633 I would say puts it around 1947 +/-.
    A couple of mine included below.

    OP dial and hands appears to be identical to the military HS9. However the HS9 was a cal 15CHT mono pusher.

    @Northernman Please check the paduan learners' work.

    The dial being white, has me foxed. I would like to say it has a hs9 early style dial and handset though the lum has not been applied as an early series 1 HS9. ie Like Northernman has nailed the dial.

    I will say the this movement looks be gilt, hard to say from the shot to be sure. I'd say Lemania 15 TL (2P). First time I've seen an incablock on this model.

    If it were steel movement and a single pusher config then it would be a cal 2210,2220 etc as these references were given Incablock shockprotection.

    I have no double pushers to check against (mine is on-route)

    So for the time being another single pusher. 2016-12-13 11.18.52.jpg

    According to Lemanias own lists the 15TL had the 2010/2030 caliber designation for versions with inca.
    Caliber number should be visible below the balance.

    I've seen many of those but none with a dial anywhere near that clean and crisp
