Lemania 5100

Eagle Eye says 😉

You are right, 2004 might be the last year to obtain a new chronograph watch with an Lemania 5100 movement. Production of the movement stopped already in 2002; Sinn bought virtually all left over stock for their 142 and EZM.1 models. There will be a commemorative Sinn Lemania 5100 model at end of this year or beginning next year to mark the end of this movement.

I have to admit that I’m writing this in August 2010. Most BB contributors figured 2004 maybe 2005 for the death of the Lemania 5100. Well folks I’m sitting here with four (4) count em Tutimas with the 5100. I purchased mine in 2008 and 2009 new from Tutima or authorized dealers. The model I have on has a chronograph feature, day and date, 24 hour display, a 12 hour timer, small seconds at nine, three separate arrow hands that sweep. This is one version of the military chrono that is contracted by German and NATO Air
Forces since 1986. The other two have a beveled bezel also in gold. So don’t sound the death knell for the Lemania 5100 yet. Tutima is the only watch maker you can get one from.
