Description:
This Lemania Nero is a quintessential piece of cold-war era military hardware, utilized by the British Ministry of Defence for high-precision naval and aeronautical timing. The rare "rattrapante" or split-second complication allows for the measurement of two simultaneous events, operated via the specialized crown and side-pusher arrangement. Adorned with official military issue stampings on the caseback, it remains a robust and functional example of Swiss engineering at its most utilitarian.
