Dear OF

For your consideration here is the rare and beautiful stainless steal case Lemania with special date complication

The watch is powered with rare Lemania cal 2990/DS27 which is a high grade caliber used as the base for Lemania/Omega chronographs.

The special feature is the quick set date button at two a clock which was very unusual for watches during 40s. Details about the movement can be found here. (Note the unusual regulator with catch device for hairspring)

I thought Rolex “invented” the cyclops or “magnifier” in the 50’s…
Extremely cool watch, I love it 😀

I see what you mean 😁
Let's ignore "original" in the crystal description.
But I do like Rolex connection in this thread.

Cheers, Kapka

Sorry about that, I didn’t want it to seem like I was saying something negative about your watch. I honestly love it, I’m trying to justify buying it in my head 😁
If I don’t, GLWS
