Mine are just 5100's from Fortis.
sweets's collection of Lemanias prompted me to dig out pics of the Lemania powered watches I have owned over the years. Lemania have made great movements which have gone into some historic and classic watches.
Unfortunately I don't own all of these now -
Mine are just 5100's from Fortis.
Do these two qualify...?

used to have this...
Orfina PD with Lemania 5100 movement.
Nice watches David.
I like the Fortis too. Had the Tutima 5100 powered-great watch.

No vintage like the ones earlier posted, but a nice one imho
Some sweet watches there 8) .
That Fortis diver with 5100 is very cool.

Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
The only one I have at the moment. EZM4
The one on the right :D

P.S. A.P. I love that two register asymmetrical model, do you have any more info please.
Hi, thanks. It passed on to someone else (who has a presence on the forum).
It's the non-lume version, which was produced for the submariners (in particular on nuclear subs) in the RN, in regard to the requirement to give no radioactive readings, as those with lume would. The markings on the back also relate to it being RN issued etc.
The movement is the Lemania 15CHT series, note the Incabloc is not in fact so, but they used these dials anyway by the MoD for many models as they made a generic dial up. Note also the T symbol is covered as the lume was not applied for the reason stated above. They are rather rare models.
I liked it very much however found the symmetric case much more satisfactory and to my liking.
Best wishes,

Lovely watch, GeoffOriginally Posted by GeoffD
Too lazy to post pics :wink: but you can click on my Speedmaster website at the bottom to see my Lemania powered Omegas.
The Omega 1040/1 is based on the Lemania 1341
The 1045 on the Lemania 5100.
Omega 321 on the Lemania 2310/20
Omega 861 on the Lemania 1873.
Cheers,
Neil.
Great looking watches! I used to own a Swedish military Lemania chronograph, single pusher. Bought it for about 50 quid at a Swedish flea market, sold it for a lot more a few months later, but sometimes I wish I kept it.
/vince ..
Here's mine - There's something bordering on pornographic winding this up & watching its movement :shock:

Wow what a find. Nice watches :)Originally Posted by VinceR

Is that a Lemania? Where is the minute big hand? :?Originally Posted by Pro Tempore
Lemania made many movements other than the c.5100 and variants, which I suspect you are thinking of angeche.Originally Posted by angeche
The classic Speedy Pro had c.321 and later c.861 Lemania movements. The current Speedies have a variation of the c.861 (c.1861), but I have a feeling that they are no longer made by Lemania but by another branch of whoever now owns Lemania - am I right about this?
Another Fortis Stratoliner 8)
Swatch group own lemania. In fact lemania merged with Omega, though kept their identity in 1933.
Now Lemania make movement etc for the very high end. Off the top of my head, it's the Breuget.
AP.:)
I've had a few :lol:
Yes, that was my thought. I had the idea that the Speedys with that configuration had a variation of the valjoux 7750 movement (well, with the Omega caliber numbering)...Originally Posted by davide
I must admit I just believed the dealer that this "version" of the Speedy had a Lemania movement - Closer inspection of the movement does not help as there are no markings / numbers on it - Perhaps an expert here can tell more from a close up? ... Paul ;)Originally Posted by angeche

Hate to say this but that looks like a seagull, a chinese high quality movement....
:? Other may corect me, though
Hi Paul,
Sorry if I've misread this, I wasn't sure if your movement pic and comment was tongue in cheek or not. Ignore the following if it was.
Your movement pic shows a Seagull chrono movement as Jose pointed out. A Lemania based cal.861 will look like this.
The later cal.1861 which should be in your watch won't be that different. Here's hoping your post was a bit of a wind up and you haven't been sold a pup.
Cheers,
Gary
Yep, that looks like a Seagull to me... here's a Lemania 1863:
and here's a 321:
and here's my Sinn 156:
-- Tim
And now I am oriented: early speedys, manual ones, were based on Lemania movements, but automatic (like my late 80s one) were based on the early 7750s.
And, arriving soon (seller's photo):
And I won't even start on the Omegas!
What a great collection Nalu - what's the last one (c.1872?) with the broadarrow?
I only have one watch with a Lemania movement...
DaveB
SAAF Lemania chrono. The seller bought it from the pilot to whom it was issued, so it comes with stories 8)Originally Posted by davide
Another pic from the seller:
Very nice.
I managed to speak with the pilot to whom the symmetric Lemania chrono I have at the moment was issued to, and his times 8)

Another lemania, 22 jewel version of the 1340

I'm loving all these watches :D :D More piccies please
Wow, I am very pleased to have been the inadvertant catalyst for this great outpouring of watches. I have just tried to post a lot of better piccies of my examples, but have been warned the photos are too tall (>800 pixels).
It's late and I have an early start, so won't correct that now, but promise to post some of mine tomorrow once I have had a chance to do some re-sizing.........
Looking forward to seeing some more
Cheers
DaveS
There is an auto 7750 Speedy but the subdials are 6-9-12. For the traditional 3-6-9 configuration, known as the “Speedmaster Reduced” the Cal.3220 movement was used based on the ETA 2892-A2, Dubois Depraz 2020.47 sandwich.Originally Posted by angeche

Costume jewellery. Ouch!!!
A few better pics of my Speedmaster 176.0015 and the L5100 or cal.1045 as Omega called it.
As you'll plainly see there's a lot of plastic used as spacers in the movement. Dave (sweets) and I have had this debate elsewhere about the L5100, as a movement it's not exactly pretty but as a piece of engineering it's a work of genius. A case of stripping away all that's unnecessary but keeping the functionality and legendary robustness. I think of it as the AK47 of the watch world.
Cheers,
Gary
I was going to say you're missing a stop minute hand but I can see it hiding behind the minute hand. :)
FWIW I think the 5100 has the best method for timing with the large stop second/minute hands at the centre.
Much easier to see.
Cheers,
Neil.
This is funny: when on a beach last year I was drawing out what would be the perfect watch for me. This is exactly how it looked (I had never seen one until this post), but it had my name on the dial :oOriginally Posted by
[img
I too opted for the lemania 1040 movement, a regular bezel and internal count down, and running seconds a la Aquastar Deepstar. Damn I have good taste :D
I have an Actros with the 5100 in it, but no pictures yet.
Join the club...... :twisted:Originally Posted by Filip

Thanks Nalu - very nice!
And thanks to all for some great watches - Lemania themselves produced some great watches and others have made some classics from their movements.
Seeing AP's post reminds me I should have added this Tissot to the Lemania movement watches I have now or have owned - now why did I ever sell that?
You are in the right place.Originally Posted by Jeroen

Tasty watch David. Sometimes I think about that re the Droz, though on the quest, it's hard to set the mind at rest... :lol:
Should dig the pic of the Tutima L5100, I had, out.
Hopefully it will be possible to add to the list of L's.
AP:)
A few movement pics of my old Lemania 1341.
Aesthetically far more pleasing than the L5100, to my eyes at least.
Cheers,
Gary
I have never opened mine, but it seems that it should be the cal. 3220...Now I am confused...Originally Posted by abraxas
Jose yours is an 175.0032 model using an Omega cal.1140 which was based on the eta 2892-A2. From memory I think these were introduced around 1989. You can always tell the cal.1140 because the subdials retain the traditional 3,6,9 layout but they're significantly further apart compared to a traditional manual wind SpMP model.
Cheers,
Gary
Yep, I have found my watch in the omega website and it corresponds to a watch with a caliber 1140:
I was not aware it had a module. Now I understand why I had so many problems with the chrono functions when I bought it: they had to replace the caliber....
Done some re-sizing now, so here goes with some of my collection.
First up, a Lemania Lemania
Next a classic (imho), the PD 5100s
How about a Tutima-made Rodania
A Fortis
A little variation with a Tissot 1343
Or a PWI
A Heuer-made Lederer
They can be dressy too
And this one is the first I ever bought
Cheers
DaveS
Beautiful collection. :P
Best wishes, and thanks for posting them,

PS that Tissot is very alluring.
