This watch was issued to British Royal Navy nuclear submarine officers from the 60s to 80s. The watch has no luminous mass, because it could have set off radiation detectors on the submarine. This version of the asymmetrical Lemania RAF chronographs has become increasingly rare and coveted, undergoing a strong value increase – shown in auction results as well as private sales.
