Friends, We all know that Lemania is most known for their chronograph movements. But what might be lesser known to the broad public are the Super Compressor cased time only watches Lemania made for divers! Often when you read about single crowned Super Co...  

Love this very simple but appealing one... The Copper of the white black for me. Bravo, my friend. You played it very well. Best, Nicolas

But the 941, especially the copper index one do have a special appeal. In some way it makes me think of the Geopyhsic... Thank you, my friend. Best Blomman

...and to think that I believed all compressor were large, chunky watches "a la JLC"! How wrong I was These Lemania compressor are surprisingly sober and elegant, perfect for a night out, in the deep blue Cheers dear Blomman, Francois

There are so many things we still haven't uncovered among these lesser known vintage watches. One of the charm with collecting them! Best Blomman

Not really. Just unrecognised. External bezel SC single crown are hard to find, though. Refer to Matt's lovely Longines. Given that EPSA was making twin crown internal bezel divers in this period, it is difficult to say these Lemanias are divers. Handsome... 

Not sure if I would consider these rare... Yes the single crown with external rotating bezel are definitely harder to find! Not traditional divers... But with the SC case and the Tropical rubber strap... (3 out of the 4 I found on Tropical). I would at le... 

.. If I look on this quartet, the 2 with the copper on dial ( especially the cute 2-tone dial) have an intense attraction for me, notwithstanding the sober & clean beauty of the other 2, of course ! A very interesting share, also with the numbering system... 

Thank you, my friend! Yes, the two zone dials is a lovely pair... And as for the cleaner sisters - I get a very strong Geophysic wibe! Best Blomman

And finding four of them, too! The sober(er) variety with small seconds would never register as divers for me at first glance - they look much more \'formal\'. The central seconds pair is perhaps a tad more playful but equally nice!

Thank you, my friend. There are so many things to find and learn about in the vintage abyss! Best Blomman

Before plunging in

Should always do your home work before buying a vintage watch! Best Blomman

That before the watch bug bites one, it is almost inconceivable, what variety is / has been available

A lot of fun! Best Blomman

So far the vintage side is rather modestly represented by this: But I plan to collect for many years to come, so there will be more joining in due course ...  

Saved to favorites. Never knew about theses watches. Thank you.

Thank you, my friend. Best Blomman

I love the Lemania 920-62 with central second (with the "black circular ring")!!

Yes, the central second version is a lovely companion on the wrist! Best Blomman

Very nice collection! By any chance you know a watch like this for sale?

Thank you! Yes, lovely indeed! Unfortunately I don't know any for sale... I found these when I least expected it. Best Blomman

Please change the settings in your profile if you like a reply. Best Blomman PS. Sorry, but none of my watches are for sale.

Hi, I just found my fathers old Lemania with black dial which I thought my mother had sold. Have always liked it as it doesnt look like others watches from the time. It doesnt say it is a super compressor but at least Incabloc. Where can I find informatio...  

. . . your vintage Lemania? You've replied to a thread some eight years old; some of the participants are no longer present on this site. Your Lemania appears similar to contemporary fat-lug Omega Seamasters. Please include photos of the movement and inne...
