Lemania Rattrapante - pocket watch with chronograph from WWII USSR Submarine.





I'm not exactly sure, but I suppose that is - Lemania Caliber 1130 or 1131 with column wheel and compensation balance, 36.000 vibrations per hour.






Case back:




Inscription "Г.О." analog "H.S."(Hydrographic Service).

That is a very nice watch. Thanks for sharing the photos Aleksandr.

How can you tell it is from a submarine rather than from some other kind of ship?

According to information received from the previous owner - the clock was obtained from the family of a naval officer who served in World War II in the Pacific ocean submarine fleet of the USSR. Chronograph was used during combat and outputs them to pinpoint the time of start and run after leaving the torpedoes torpedo. Maybe it's true - maybe not. But what this watch were obtained from a family of a naval officer - is exactly.
