Well, these Chronos mostly are military watches..

.. Dating to the mid/end 50ies. In my example(s) the black dialed one is Ref Tg195, for the Swedish Army, some say
Artillery.The Swedish one often has “Tre Kronors” (3 Crowns) on their back, can be large (my example), small or sterile backside..
The Lemania with white dial/up arrow are Cal Tl-15.Mostly they show the engravings for troop and assignment, such as
also seen on JLC Mark XI or WWW type watches.
- These black Tg195 Monopusher Chronos/single dial exhibit a useful complication: The central seconds hands runs continuously until the single pusher @2 is depressed:
The seconds hand jumps back to 12 & the crown pops out.
- The time can now be changed or synced with another
watch or a time signal; then once the crown is pushed in
back, the seconds hand runs once more..
I love these Yin and Yang type, black and white Chronos
a real lot; to me they offer a low-key charm but attractive Chrono types and a very nice retro appeal, all with a
touch of history and times, meanwhile gone but not
forgotten..
Here some quick pics in addition to my WS contribution:
2 Lemania Chronos (left:Tg 195, rt: Tl-15)
Tl-15 white Monopusher ( 2pax design), up-arrow (for British Army)
Here the Backplane of the Tg-195 (Tre Kronors)
To me a compelling appeal (Tg195).. Credits: (pic: Nico/ watch: hs)
Absolutely captivating to me
