That military is a stunner Piers, those watches absolutely belong together. So glad the watch has gone to a good home.
Got a lot of love for these old models. When one turned up recently on SC I was lucky enough to snap it up (Surprised it didn't go sooner) - thanks @Crouchy!
This newer model is smaller than my existing one, but works perfectly and in fab New-Old-Stock condition. (Like the other one which I managed to grab last year).
Some pics...

Absolutely amazing! I was really tempted with the smaller one but I was not sure of the size!
Here are my two.

Whenever I see this design, it makes me want one.
They just look so rugged and ready for anything.
Lovely watches!
The closest I can get is my Sinn 144, although I like to think of the design as a 70s Swiss watch industry parts watch. It’s pretty much my daily wearer.

A very nice pair.

Lovely pair. My '74 says hello!

The transition started from ‘74 with the 5100 launched at the same time. See https://revolutionwatch.com/overlook...ked-out-watch/
The watch was noted as a 74 when I bought it a long time ago. If there is a way of confirming, that would be good.
That a lovely pair of watches, lucky person!
Whilst sounding authoratative, that is a misleading article. The Lemania 5100 (as the Omega 1045) was exclusive to Omega for at least the first 3 years of production, its first recorded use outside Omega was in the PD that won the Bund contract, as a new design, in 1978. I am pretty confident on that. If you can tell me your movement serial number, i can give you a better idea on the date.
Thanks for linking to that article, I really enjoyed it.
Especially this line:
Gotta get myself a Lemania 5100-powered watch. I've admired its functionality and toughness since I saw it in a Sinn 503EZM.1All this means that you could take your Lemania 5100-equipped chronograph and use it to smash open coconuts or clamshells in a desert island scenario, and it wouldn’t lose an iota of accuracy.
Jonas club have massive discounts on Porsche at the moment , new watches but no boxes .
