    This watch belongs to a family member.
    With the engravement of the 3 crowns on back I guess it was used by swedish pilots?
    What is the meaning of Tg195 on dial?
    Thank you if anybody of you knows more about the background of this watch and shares his knowledge!

    Did you google “tg 195” or “tg195” huge amounts of info on these.

    It’s most likely the internal stock number of that lemania made for the Swedish Military in fairly large numbers.

    1956 issue.

    As detailed in the above links, the Swedish artillery commanders used these.

    Agreed... it’s not a stop watch but an interesting way to hack and time sync watches.
