apart from the case design it doesnt seem to be any different to the museum #2 the 1945 officers chronograph. Graham

Agreed

Agree - very similar Graham to the Officers watch.. Also I would have loved to see this piece with a modified cal 1861 so as for the watch to be true to the Lemania connection, it having originally been powered by a Lemania-based 33.3 CHRO T1.    I think ...
