Lemania  Reference 287A — Caliber 3060 New Old Stock (1950s)

 

From the original owners collection, renowned for its focus on Lemania and Omega timepieces of the 1950s and 60s, comes this extraordinary new old stock Lemania reference 287A, powered by the Calibre 3060 manually wound movement.

 

Dating to the 1950s, this example showcases an immaculate honeycomb dial adorned with full rose gold Arabic numerals, matching dauphine hands, and applied rose gold Lemania crown logo, complemented by beautifully preserved lume plots.

 

Housed in a 35mm stainless steel screw-back case, the watch retains its original signed crown, factory strap, and hang tag bearing the matching serial number—a remarkable level of originality seldom seen. One particularly intriguing detail is the rare Lemania buckle, believed to be crafted from bakelite material,  an unusual and charming period feature.

 

This reference stands as a testament to Lemania's exceptional quality and craftsmanship—paralleling that of Omega during the era. In fact, Omega’s collaboration with Lemania for movement production speaks volumes to the brand’s technical excellence and reputation among horological greats.
