Cool watch designed by one of the most successful Olympians of all time: Paul Elvström. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Elvstrøm He was an inventor as well as a master sailor. The watch enables tactical angles to be determined on an Olympic sailing regatta track. Unfortunately (!) Mr. Elvström became a "Rolex worldwide ambassador" shortly after these watches was released to the public. Due to this Lemania had to stop making them.... Hence they are relative limited in production numbers (but by no means uncommon). Lemania cal 1345 has the same base as the Omega 1040, but with a countdown/flyback counter. GLWS!
Sold! Many thanks go to the gentleman buyer from this forum, and to the forum for this sales facility.
