Lemania calibre 2225

The Lemania 2225 is a hand-wound mechanical chronograph developed for professional and military use. It notably equipped Swedish armed forces issue watches, commonly referred to as TG195, from the late 1950s onward.

Technical profile

  • Type: mechanical chronograph, hand-wound
  • Chronograph control: cam-operated system (focus on robustness and serviceability)
  • Indications: hours, minutes, small seconds, central chronograph seconds
  • Intended use: field and aviation tool watch, prioritising legibility and reliability

Historical context

During the second half of the 20th century, Lemania supplied several chronograph movements designed to meet military specifications. The 2225 follows this approach: a rational construction, generously sized components, and a chronograph mechanism engineered to withstand sustained use while remaining easy to service in operational conditions.

Key points

  • An emblematic calibre of military-issued “tool” chronographs
  • Cam-operated architecture prioritising reliability over prestige
  • Watch reference most commonly associated: TG195 (Swedish military)

Note: depending on production batches and deliveries, certain executions may vary (bridge shapes, chronograph components, markings). Precise documentation is best established by examining the movement inscriptions and caseback markings.
