251-4207 Rare military wristwatch of the Swedish Air Force, Lemania Tg 195 "HACKING SECONDS" "Tropical Dial", 1958 Ca. Ø40mm, original steel case, screwed, Swedish Navy marking and serial number 58-3354, manual winding. The calibre 2225 has a special synchronisation function. The upper pusher resets the seconds hand to zero and simultaneously activates the crown. When the crown is pushed back in, the watch starts again. The dial has a wonderful brown colouring due to ageing, so-called tropical dial, original luminous hands, textile military strap, in very beautiful original condition, in working order. The so-called TG 195 is one of the rarest military watches of the Lemania brand. Not much is known about this watch. It was procured for the Swedish Air Force in the 1950s. The special feature is a rather unusual zero setting of the watch for precise adjustment. During operation, the centre seconds is permanently moving. If you press the upper pusher at 2, the seconds automatically reset to zero and the crown springs out. However, the entire movement stops as planned (!). Only when the crown is pushed in again does the watch continue to run. This makes it possible to set the time precisely. 4.000 € - 8.000 €
