Incabloc or shock protection on top of the balance jewel.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incabloc_shock_protection_system

Early versions of the CH27. 1943-1948(?) +/- had no shock protection. Later movements have.

 

Donut jewel equals no incabloc. Ok Thanks

 

Hi,

Watch is not mine...yet.

Dial is a poor redial, but I know where I can get a original used dial for this.

Case back markings seems correct.

I do not have better pictures from the movement.

I have seen later versions of this movement, with different signing for LEMANIA, and shock protection.

Can this be an early version of CH27?

Thanks

 

Yes. It's an early CH27.
Case looks fine. It deserves another dial!
Cheers!

 

Forgot to mention that one !

 

How is that possible???

 

I like to keep some secrets !

 

If you ever come close to wanting to forget about it all together, then I think I might be able to assist!
Aka: DIBS!

 

@Northernman Or a fixer upper here...

Thought I saw a green tachymeter too

 

No movement shots and a bit steep price?

I have a project watch in wait for some TLC. Anyone have a dial and a SS case floating about?

 

Impressive!

 

real pretty

 

Impressive! I guess this is a close variant to that fabulous pocket chronograph?:

Although yours seems more modern, and 1/10th sec.

 

Gee, did I forget to say "DIBS" when I saw it the other day on WRUW? Darn. Second dibs then, or in whatever order!

 

Here's mine:

 

Hi guys.
My Grandfather left me this old Lemania. I know that the condition is pretty bad, but I am planning on getting it fixed by a pro.
But I can't find out what year it is from or anything else about it actually
I would be very interested if any of you could tell me anything about it
The caliber is 3060
Thank you very much!

Thomas

 

Your grandfather had good taste!
Nice Watch. It should clean up very well in the right hands.
Do not restore anything. Have the movement serviced and the plexi polished or replaced only.
Your watch is gold plated (PA).
Catalog image from 1956:


The reference numbers from Lemania refers only to the case. As such it is perfectly correct that yours has sweep seconds and a different dial layout.

Serial number indicates 1954 +/- a couple of years.

 

Here is mine and only. Had a wonderful chat with Pat this morning and found this thread.
