Lemania produced the ebauches for nearly all of Omega’s chronographs but also for many other leading Swiss brands such as Tissot; they refined the Lemania calibre 27CH and signed the movement with their name. For the Omega brand, this is the base calibre 321, which was used in the first generation Speedmaster Moonwatch models.
The successful combination of 1950s style and the beautiful and reliable chronograph movement make this model a marvellous collector’s item.
