Lemania RAF 6BB Monopusher Chronograph – Calibre 2220

A rare and increasingly sought-after RAF-issued Lemania monopusher chronograph, powered by the legendary hand-wound Lemania Calibre 2220. This column-wheel monopusher movement traces its roots to the celebrated Lemania CHT 15 architecture and is widely regarded as one of the finest military chronograph calibres of its era. All chronograph functions are operated through a single pusher, a configuration rarely encountered outside purpose-built military watches.

Built as a genuine military tool watch, it features the distinctive asymmetric stainless-steel case, fixed spring bars, and the clean, highly legible dial design that has made the 6BB references favourites among collectors of military-issued chronographs.

The watch retains its original handset; the lume appears to have been sympathetically restored at some point during its life, preserving the original configuration and character of the watch.

It is fitted with a new German-made Perlon strap in sand, a shade that perfectly complements the warm patina of the luminous hour markers and suits the watch’s understated military aesthetic.

With its fascinating RAF provenance, iconic case design, and one of the most respected monopusher chronograph movements ever produced, the Lemania 6BB remains one of the most charismatic and collectible military chronographs available today.

Wakmann Reverse Panda Skin Diver Chronograph - early 1960s

I’m genuinely stunned by the overall aesthetic and proportions of this piece. The combination of the glossy black reverse panda dial (cream sub-dials), and exceptionally dark vanilla lume patina just works perfectly.

The dial is signed „Ra SWISS MADE Ra“ at the bottom, indicating the use of radium lume.

The full black rotating bezel is what really sets this watch apart for me. It adds a surprising amount of depth and class to the design while visually slimming the profile. Together with the glossy dial, it gives this vintage skin diver a look that is both rugged and refined.

One technical detail I particularly like is the clever movement retention and shock-absorption system: the movement is secured by two spring-supported pillars that press against the caseback when tightened, helping stabilize and protect the movement from impact.

The case has definitely seen some polishing over the years, but it remains sharp and clean overall. The black bezel shows some honest wear, but still has sharp teeth and crisp silver script that stand out beautifully against the all-black insert.

The watch comes fitted with a new original black TROPIC strap, which suits it perfectly.

A genuinely striking vintage chronograph with loads of character, offering far more presence than its price would suggest. These don’t come up for sale very often, especially with this combination of dial, bezel, and patina.

Size: 38 mm without crown
Movement: Landeron 149

HEUER Cortina – Ref. 110.233NC

Born in 1977, the HEUER Cortina marked a rare departure from the brand’s deep connection to motorsport. Introduced as part of Heuer’s third generation of Caliber 12 chronographs, the Cortina was conceived as a winter-sports model, named after the Italian ski resort Cortina d’Ampezzo and aimed at a more refined sporting lifestyle beyond the racetrack.

The Cortina features the model’s distinctive octagonal stainless-steel case with integrated bracelet — a design very much aligned with the late-1970s shift toward angular luxury sports watches. The black dial is almost flawless and the tritium lume has aged beautifully, developing a soft vanilla patina that adds warmth to the otherwise sharp and architectural design.

The watch retains its original luminous material and naturally aged indexes, preserving the honest character you are searching for.

At 39 mm, the Cortina wears with notable presence while remaining exceptionally comfortable on the wrist thanks to its integrated bracelet design.

Produced for only a relatively short period, the Cortina remains one of the lesser-seen and more distinctive chronographs from Heuer’s late-1970s catalogue — an uncommon alternative to the brand’s better-known racing models like the Carrera or Autavia.

Vacheron Constantin Overseas Jumbo ref. 42040

— a first-generation piece from around 1997, and one of the purest expressions of the original integrated sports-luxury design.

This example features a striking sunburst-brushed dark grey dial that reads almost black in most lighting, giving the watch a deep, understated presence on the wrist. The tritium lume has aged naturally into a warm cream tone, adding just the right amount of vintage character without losing legibility.

At 37mm, it wears with the same balanced proportions as the legendary 222 “Jumbo,” combining elegance and presence in equal measure. The integrated bracelet is beautifully executed with alternating brushed and polished surfaces, delivering that unmistakable early-Overseas feel.

Inside beats the ultra-thin automatic Calibre 1310, finished with a solid 21k gold rotor.

This is the original Overseas in its most honest form: refined, robust, and still highly underappreciated compared to its contemporaries. A true late-90s Vacheron sports watch with real presence, character, and timeless wearability.

OMEGA Constellation Double Eagle Chronograph – 1542.40.00

Some watches spend years hiding in plain sight before people finally understand them.

For me, the Omega Constellation Double Eagle Chronograph Ref. 1542.40.00 has always been one of those watches.

I’ve been quietly watching the market for these for a long time now, and lately it feels like the entire Constellation line is finally starting to receive the attention it deserved years ago.
Slowly, collectors are beginning to look back at this era of Omega differently — and references like this are exactly why.

The Double Eagle carries everything that made late-1990s watch design so special and it has the unmistakable Constellation “griffes,” and that textured grey-blue dial that just looks super interesting.

Inside sits the Omega Caliber 1270 — a brilliant meca-quartz chronograph movement.

What makes this reference interesting today is that it still feels overlooked. While the market keeps chasing the same predictable integrated sports watches at impossible prices, pieces like the Double Eagle remain quietly sitting in the background — collectible, distinctive, and full of character for those paying attention.

A charismatic and increasingly hard-to-find Heuer Camaro Ref. 73343NT (fourth ex*****on / MK4) featuring one of the most attractive tropical dials I’ve seen in recent years.

Originally born with a black “Noir Tachy” dial configuration, this example has developed an exceptional brown-green-blue tropical patina that shifts beautifully depending on the light.

The warm yellowish tachymeter scale and vivid yellow-orange chronograph hands create the unmistakable late-1960s “exotic dial” aesthetic that made these Camaros cult favorites among vintage Heuer collectors.

The crisp dial is complemented by evenly aged dark cream tritium lume throughout, adding further warmth and depth to the watch.

The sharp steel case retains strong proportions with only minor signs of polishing and honest wear from age.

A note to the lucky one getting this watch: wait until you see it in real life. It looks even better!

IWC Golf Club SL – Ref. 1829 – Pellaton cal. 8541

The Golf Club is a distinctive late-1970s design from IWC, combining a sporty look with clean, understated lines.

Its plated, rhodium-finished dial has a brushed texture and a neutral grey tone that works well with almost any strap choice.

The design is generally attributed to GĂ©rald Genta during his time working with IWC in the late 1970s. While more low-key than some of his better-known designs, the connection is clear in the proportions and overall shape.

Production is estimated at only around 1,000 pieces, which makes it relatively hard to find today.
