Collection: Vintage Lemania: Military Chronographs & Legendary Calibers

Discover the manufacturer behind the legends. Lemania is revered by horologists for producing some of the most famous chronograph movements in history—including the caliber used in the first watch worn on the Moon. Famous for their robust Military Chronographs issued to the British RAF and Swedish Air Force, Lemania represents pure functional precision.

The Heart of the Moonwatch & Military Aviation

For decades, Lemania was the silent giant supplying movements to brands like Omega, Patek Philippe, and Heuer. At e-v-w.com, we specialize in sourcing these original masterpieces, from the indestructible Caliber 5100 to the rare, asymmetric mono-pusher chronographs used by military pilots.

📂 Explore our Lemania inventory:

  • ✈️ Military Issues (RAF & Tg 195): Highly collectible timepieces issued to the British Royal Air Force and Navy. Look for the iconic "Broad Arrow" markings and asymmetric cases designed to protect the pushers.
  • 🚀 The Moonwatch Ancestors: Watches powered by the legendary Caliber 321 (CH27) and 861 (1873). Owning a vintage Lemania means owning the original architecture of the space-faring chronograph.
