Lemania 6BB/924 RAF Military Issued Single Pusher Chronograph - Black Dial - 1963

A Very Well Preserved Lemania RAF 6BB/924 Military Issued Single Pusher Chronograph with a Beautiful Black Dial, Issued in 1963 Case Stainless Steel Condition 8/10 Year 1963 Box/Papers No/No This Lemania chronograph is the quintessence of the pilot watch. Produced during a little more than 20 years, from the 50s to the early 70s, in low quantities, it features a mono-pusher mechanism based on the Lemania 2220 movement. Its black dial and large tritium hands make it very readable and the thick asymmetrical case adds a touch of coolness to the overall aesthetic. Lemania was a supplier to various militaries and official agencies, their watches (or sometimes movements only) were provided to Czechoslovakia, France, Sweden, Rhodesia, and Australia amongst others, and they were one of the various companies complying with the rigorous post-WWII British requirements for issue. With such a rich military bloodline, Lemania's military chronographs were sure to be exceptional pieces.
