This is a rare and collectible Bucherer ref 9803 automatic chronograph with the famous 1340 Lemania movement which was jointly developed by Lemania and Omega. Watch is dated to circa 1970-1972 vintage. Watch has been tested and both time and chronograph, including registers and date work perfectly. The watch has a quick change date function from the second crown position. The piece is in nice aesthetic condition and the original gold tone dial on this piece is absolutely pristine. The original Omega style hands are great. The watch is powered by the highly sought after Lemania 1340 automatic 12 hour chronograph, which features an unusual centrally based 60 minute sweep chronograph totalizer hand, rather than the conventional 30 minute counter. This caliber was a collaboration by both Bucherer and Omega (the Omega equivalent was the Lemania cal 1040) and is the predecessor of the legendary Lemania 5100. (The watch design itself basically resembles the Omega Mark III.)
The cushion case case is gold filled and has a stainless steel screwback. The Lemania movement serial number puts this watch production date to 1970-1972. This watch sits tall and proud on the wrist, and comes on a new old stock leather strap. The photos are Continue reading “#5900 Rare Bucherer 70’s Vintage Automatic Lemania 1340 Chronograph”
