Description

The Rodania chronograph compressor vintage watch small prodoction, based on an Omega case for model ref. 145.019 Seamaster Soccer Timer You can see this Omega for sale at vintage watch sites. The inside caseback has the reference number on it. But the Omega has been machined out. This watch has the same very durable high quality Lemania 861 chronograph movement. The same movement found in a huge number of Speedmaster Moon watches. In fact the dial, hands and markers look remarkably like a Speedmaster. I think the hands are Speedmaster and the dials in the chronograph are the same. It would appear that Rodania obtained extra cases and parts, and made there own high quality chronograph with an additional moving compressor bezel. Very cool, very rare and a little strange. This is a big watch 42mm, heavy and in great condition. The movement winds sets and runs very well. The bezel turns accurately and the hands and dial have only slight discoloration in 50 years. The watch is large and heavy. If you can find out more about this watch, let me know. I think with this set of complications it is very rare and is going to increase in value. It all works good, keeps time, chronograph functions perfect and returns to 12, outside compressor dial sets and holds time indicated. So this watch works great.
