Very nice! Really liking the white dialed Lemania
Is the odd one out one of the Precista's (PRS-5 Re-issue)??

Correct, the White dialed single button chronograph is the odd one out, not just because it has a white dial, but because it is non-luminous, and was issued to the Royal Navy for use on nuclear submarines, rather than all others intended for pilot or navigator use. The use of non-luminous material on the subs, is so it wouldn't affect radiaton monitoring.
Thanks for playing.
I've got a non-lune 2nd generation Seiko chrono which is a beauty as it's pure monochrome. It's not an issued one unfortunately. I understood that they were submariners watches also.
Edit: gorgeous collection BTW.
Also? The one next to the white faced Lemania - only one with spring (not solid) bars fitted?
I keep coming back to this, what a great line up. Is there anything missing from this collection?
Ah yes, now you mention it.
But I was wondering if there are any asymetrical-cased chronos produced by other makers that are not represented here? All the ones I'm familiar with are here, but a serious collector like Explorer1 might know of others?
I've assumed that most of these are 'issued' watches, so it would be fascinating to see an 'inverted' fly-past if that's possible so we can see the markings?
Thanks a lot for sharing.
