For sale is a Vintage Meylan Chronograph, from approx late 1960s - early 70s.

Watch is a white dialed, triple register chrono, with outer red decimeter scale. The dial is in very good condition with all lume plots intact, with some small marks present. The minute hand is missing lume material

The tonneau case is in good unpolished condition, with minor signs of wear. Measures approx 38mm across

Powered by the manual wind 1873 lemania (similar to the 861). The movement is unserviced and running ok, however the chrono reset doesn't consistently return to 12 (sometimes left or right), so needs a look at by a watchmaker.

The watch was made under the Meylan name, by Lemania, the same manufacturer of omega movements and parts. This can be seen by the milled out logo on the back of the watch whose case ref 9655 was likely destined to be an Omega Seamaster (ref 145.006), and the use of an omega stamped crystal.

Asking $3450 USD (the AUD is cheap at the moment!), I'm open to reasonable offers considering the chrono reset. Asking price includes postage with DHL from Aus to worldwide - insurance can be discussed if needed. PM me for more info, and am open to comments.
