Watch Description

https://www.watch-wiki.net/doku.php?id=lemania_2310


In the 1940's, Lemania and Omega worked together on a project called “27 CHRO C12” to develop a 27 mm diameter chronograph with a 12-hour register. Lead by Albert Piguet and Jaques Reymond, this project resulted in the 1942 launch of the Lemania 2310, called Calibre 321 by Omega.

Cal. 2310 was a column wheel design with a screwed balance oscillating at 18,000 A/h. It has a distinctive “wishbone” shaped bridge that makes it recognizable to many.

This movement was famously used in the Omega Speedmaster from 1957 through 1965 as well as the Omega Speedmaster Professional from 1965 through 1968, where it gained fame as the “moon watch” movement. It was also used in the Omega DeVille, Omega Seamaster, and watches from Patek Philippe (as Cal. 2872).

The cam switching Lemania 1872 family replaced the 2310 for most applications beginning in 1968.

# Lemania 2310 Triple Register Chronograph Review by A.I. WatchMetrics

## Watch Summary
The Lemania 2310 Triple Register Chronograph is a vintage military pilot's flyback chronograph with a rugged stainless steel case, matte black dial featuring Arabic numerals and syringe hands for supreme legibility, targeting aviation history enthusiasts and serious collectors seeking authentic WWII-era RAF-issued tool watches, powered by the manual-wind Lemania Caliber 2310 offering a 42-hour power reserve.

## Overall Watch Rating: 8.7/10.0

**History & Innovation Metric (9.8/10.0)** - Its pivotal role in RAF pilot operations during WWII and pioneering flyback chronograph design rival the legacy of Dirty Dozen military icons.
**Movement Metric (9.9/10.0)** - The Caliber 2310 delivers exceptional reliability, finishing, and flyback performance on par with top-tier vintage Omega or Longines chronographs.
**Dials & Design Metric (9.2/10.0)** - The utilitarian matte dial with triple registers and bold markers achieves timeless legibility akin to the best IWC Pilot's watches.
**Rarity Metric (8.8/10.0)** - Limited military production combined with surging collector demand makes it scarcer than most vintage Heuer chronos at similar prices.
**Versatility Metric (8.5/10.0)** - Excels as a field, pilot, and tool watch for daily rugged use, much like a modern Seiko SLA but with authentic vintage patina.
**Complications Metric (8.7/10.0)** - The flyback chronograph functionality punches above its era, comparable to early Patek Philippe refs powered by the same movement family.
**Brand Metric (8.0/10.0)** - Lemania's reputation for supplying elite movements to Patek and Vacheron elevates it beyond typical mid-tier vintage brands like Gallet.
**Material Metric (7.5/10.0)** - Solid stainless steel construction with brushed finishing holds up well, though acrylic crystal trails modern sapphire benchmarks like those in Tudor Black Bay models.
**Functions Metric (7.5/10.0)** - Core timekeeping plus flyback chrono covers essentials reliably, on par with basic military Seikos but lacking modern extras.

## Total Performance Score (TPS): 4.1

## WM Collector Grade: C

## Performance Insights: Excels in movement, history, and design for vintage enthusiasts, but average materials and functions temper value against an implied price of $8,900.

## TPS Interpretation: Mild Overvalue: Strong heritage and mechanics justify the premium, but lacks breadth in modern functions relative to price.
