A vintage Lemania automatic chronograph in a gold-coloured cushion-shaped case, with a champagne dial, subsidiary registers and two pushers, on a black leather strap.
The Piece
Three subsidiary registers and two pushers distinguish the chronograph display from a simple three-hand watch. The automatic description is historical;
The cushion-shaped case has a smooth bezel, a crown between two chronograph pushers and a steel case back. The champagne dial is signed Lemania, with baton hour markers, a printed scale around the edge, subsidiary registers and a sweep seconds hand.
The watch was as running; it has not been tested again. The description notes scratches and marks on the case and the back, and the strap is a replacement.
