For sale is a wonderful Lemania 818 in very good condition 😀 From what both I and the previous owner can tell it is in an unpolished condition (since neither he or I have owned since it was new we cannot of course be 100% sure about that!). Dial and hands (the syringe version) are both in a perfect condition and so is also the case. The watch was only produced in 500 examples between 1975 and 1976 (250 each year). The watch runs well, the chronograph resets correctly, I observed it for 7 days and it slowed down 14 seconds during that period, i.e. 2 seconds each 24 hours.



Here is an article about the reference:

The ones for the Swedish watch community klocksnack.se (Scandinavias largest) are of course in Swedish but by using Google-translate I am sure you will understand what they say smile.png

I am asking €5500 for the watch.

Cheers,
Hans

A beautiful watch and one of those rare examples where the word “rare” is in fact warranted.
Those double pushers are said to be “as rare as hen’s teeth” in the military watch collecting community.

Might want to add “double pusher” in the title for added visibility.

Thanks for the advice and for the kind words about the watch 😀 I have just added it to the title!

i have also used the new search function to find old listings that seem still active and unfortunately most of them are indeed sold.
