LemAnia WWW military wristwatch

[jacdow]

Hi, Have been going through my late fathers mementos and came across a LemAnia
WWW military wristwatch. Details on watch as follows:
Black face
Arabic numbers
Luminous Hands and dots around watch face
Inner second face with luminous hand & Luminous green P in second dial face
Back of watch
At top WWW
Then the crows foot
Then No : A 6001
Then No: 3*****7
I have no idea of when this was made or who it belongs to either my father or grandfather as GF in WWI and dad in WWII...

Any information would be greatly appreciated. And believe it or not the watch still works perfectly.

Thanks
Jacdow

An A on the case back indicates a Vertex WWW, a Q would be for Lemania. It isn't uncommon to see WWW's with swapped case backs. The P on the dial indicates Promethium luminous material and makes the watch quite uncommon, it also indicates that the watch stayed in service for quite a long time and wasn't sold off through surplus soon after the end of the war. These were delivered to the MoD in 1945 just after the end of the war. Pics would be great.

Welcome to the forum Jacdow. My condolences for your father. Could you please post some clear dial and caseback fotos so that the members who have knowledge about Lemania could give you some detailed information.

LEMANIA DIRTY DOZEN


Here's my Lemania Dirty Dozen. There is no connection with the Battle of Britain. Just a useful prop.



Here' a rear shot with the 'Q' indentifier. The round indentation indicates it was officially decommisioned and released.

I have acquired an urge to get myself one of the dirty dozen.. steel body.. I've looking on Ebay and Chrono24.. where else should I be looking for something as nice as your watch?
