Default Did you see this one over on TZ-UK

I have never seen this Lemania. Nice looking! Somehow, it looks like a Sinn EZM!

Hi Menno

Ahh yes, the Elvstom, equipped with the 1345 Regatta movement (which turns the discs from 10 to 2 progressively different colours in 5-minute groups to time for yacht race starts..).

To my mind, it is one of the least attractive Lemania-branded watches out there (imho). Sorry, but there it is.....

Not sure the coin-edged bezel goes with the modern case
Not a big fan of compass bezels anyway
Functionless decorative screws on the case corners
Needless dial script and way marks

I like the hands
Love the movement
I also like the fact that it is one of the only Lemania-branded watches to have a Lemania signed and engraved caseback.

But not for me, overall. At all

Actually, the one that I dislike more is the BiMetal version of the same watch


Thanks to modern vintage classic for the photo

Dave
