Notes
Lemania has produced most of the chronograph blanks for Omega but also for many other major Swiss brands, such as Tissot. The calibre 27 CH is one of these movements. For Omega it became calibre 321 (which was used in the “Speedmaster” “Moonwatch” models of the first generations), while for Tissot it became calibre 17976.
