    kicking a dead horse, my idea for a 17c mission timer

    Love this lemania, though I figure they are about to be sued by Omega for using an arrow.

    I looked at the 17c and the 9:00 dial is the hour counter for the chrono, so the constant second and the 1/10 second would be lost..

    And then increase the price of their watches to cover their costs............. :twisted:


    Actually, I like the countdown bezel on that Lamania. If Eddie were to put one on the 17-C it'd be perfect. :)

    I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.

    I think this is the same solution as the EZM-1's Mission Timer (MT) setup.

    It also has neither an hour totalizer nor a constant seconds for the sake of clarity.

    Of course, being a mechanical movement, it is missing a 1/10th seconds totalizer by rights.

    The Tutima Commando retains the hour totaliser which I feel is more useful than running secs.

    The Lemania above would have been better if it had a 12H bezel to increase the usefulness of the chrono.


    Not my rendering.

    I am no longer sure if this project is still active.

    If it's active, I would buy at least two.

    The normal 17C hasn't left my wrist for a while now except to shower... I'd definitely go for the 17C-MT.
