So, a
brief homage to what has to be
my favorite watch of 2018, i.e. what I’ve worn the most and am probably attached to the most.
I finally got around to opening it, to take better shots of the Lemania (Schwarz Etienne prepared) movement.
For reference, a Speedymoon movement:
(For those with sharp eyes, the Lemania is actually 18 jewels, unlike the Omega. As well, the Lemania does not have the plastic brake.)
It’s marked
Adjusted 5 Pos. and I can attest to its accuracy as worn. Over most weeks, it gains around 15 seconds or less.
It’s in a completely Omega service set up. Service luminova dial (but early - see the number of hash marks in between the second markers to compare with later ones) and luminova hands (the chrono seconds hand should be flat bottomed, but I like the old fashioned style), in a service Omega Speedymoon case.
Apart from having it serviced, I put it on a proper 1450 bracelet and replaced the later bezel with a period correct one.
eBay, from France, for $2,800, as I recall.
