There's a watch thread running on the Leica camera forum and someone has posted that there is a manual wind version of the current Globemaster, available by special order.

I can't find a reference to this anywhere. Does anyone on here know of this version?

 

Anyone have any knowledge of this?
Thanks

 

Could be because it doesn't exist.

They're all automatic, and equipped with calibre 8900 co-axial master chronometers, with the exception being the platinum limited edition that contains an automatic calibre 8913 co-axial master chronometer.

 

Good news is to Leica owners Leica now has manual wind watches.

Thanks. That was my view too.

 

Yes, that's what started the discussion!

 

There's the De Ville Tresor..

My Guess is they are thinking about the 8903 powered one with no date. It’s rarer then hens teeth. Although a member here has one, and it’s special order.

It’s still an auto.
