Lemania produced ebauches not only for most Omega chronographs but also for other leading Swiss brands.
This timepiece with the famous Lemania 27CH calibre is one of the very few chronographs the company produced under their own brand name; the design of the fabled Omega calibre 321 is based on this calibre. The legendary calibre 321 was used in many of the Omega chronographs, such as the early Speedmaster models.
