Lemania Benthos 1 "1000 Meters" Dive Watch
SOLD
The Inside Story
This is a very rare 1970s dive watch by Lemania. The Benthos 1 was a rare example of a watch able to go to a depth of 1000 ( a VERY RARE feature at that time !)meters, thanks to the monobloc case. The watch features an orange ‘running minutes’ hand that is adjusted using a pusher in the case at five o’clock.
This watch remains in excellent original condition with great lines on the large 42mm steel case. The black dial features white text and zinc-sulphide tritium lume. The bakelite bezel remains in amazing condition.
This watch will come on the pictured Bulang and Sons strap and the AS Schild AS2162 automatic movement has been fully serviced by our watchmaker.
This is a rare watch, that we believe was never made commercially available, unlike its cousin the Aqua Star Benthos 1. Get in touch and we can discuss it more !
