Description
Lemania WWW issued to the British Army circa 1945 with M.O.D tritium dial.
One of the favourite ‘Dirty Dozen’ watches with only 10,000 being produced by Lemania. This puts it 6th in the production table only behind Grana, Eterna, IWC, JLC and Longines.
This piece is in great condition for a watch of it’s age, it does have some small marks commensurate with an issued watch from 1945, but the overall condition is very good. The dial is the MOD variant, which is tritium and peppermint green. The sword hands match. The 36.5mm case is chrome topped and these are often very brassed and worn. The lugs are fixed and 18mm. The plating is still very good, with only some light wear.
The 27a movement was serviced on 18th Nov ’23, and comes with 12 months mechanical warranty from that date with Simon Freese Watchmakers in the U.K.
All parts are original, and the watch comes on a new 18mm NATO green band as seen.
Points to consider: Lemania WWW production: 10,000, all original parts, lovely dial and sword hands, serviced & 12 months mechanical warranty with Simon Freese.
