1970s Wakmann Automatic Chronograph Lemania 1341 42mm
Here we have a 1970s Wakmann, a yachting-inspired Regate Chronograph featuring a 42mm Gold-plated tonneau-shaped case. A lug-to-lug length of 47.5mm and a case thickness of 14.5mm give the watch an impressive wrist presence. Sitting on the wrist like a cushion for comfort. On the right side, we have the chronograph pushers, and in the centre, a large crown. On the left side, at 10 o’clock, we have a recessed crown for adjusting the inner bezel. The domed crystal sits above a colourful, multifunctional gold coloured dial. An outer Tachymeter scale highlighting the 15-minute Regate countdown with a monthly calendar planner underneath. To operate, rotate the chapter ring until the correct day of the week aligns with 1 at the top of the dial. Thereby, at a glance, you can see which date a particular day falls in the month. Applied gold-plated baton indexes with black painted centres and tritium lume pips mark the hours. At 3 o’clock, a framed date window. At 6 o’clock, a 12-hour register and at 9 o’clock, a continuous seconds register. Gold-plated hands are complemented by a tapered orange chronograph hand and finally, an orange arrow-pointed hand indicating the chronograph minutes. At noon, we have the Wakmann motif with Automatic underneath. At 3 o’clock, 17 Jewels Shockproof completes this colourful tool watch. On the reverse is a screw-down case back, inside an automatic Lemania 1341, 17 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour. This cam-lever chronograph movement was produced from 1972 to 1980. It was also used in the Tissot cal. 2170 and Omega cal. 1040/1 movements. The watch comes fitted with a 20mm leather strap and a pin buckle.
