This Lemania wristwatch is a 1964 model housed in a stainless steel Super Compressor case, a design developed by the case manufacturer EPSA. The watch features a light-colored silver dial equipped with raised, gold-toned geometric hour markers and dauphine-style hands.
A sub-seconds register is positioned at the 6 o'clock mark. The watch is powered by a mechanical movement that the auction description reports has been recently overhauled and is in good working order. It is presented on a black leather strap with a silver-colored buckle. The auction description states that the watch case remains unpolished, preserving its original sharp edges, and that the dial is in near-perfect condition.
Time setting and winding are managed via the crown located at the 3 o'clock position.

The case back bears engravings confirming its specifications, including 'STAINLESS STEEL', 'ANTIMAGNETIC', 'WATERPROOF', and 'SWISS MADE'. The watch is accompanied by a black leather strap and a silver-colored buckle, completing its current presentation.
