The Lemania 5100 is a legendary chronograph movement that is something of a holy grail among chronograph obsessed watch nerds. We went deep into the history of the movement a few years ago, and if you haven?t already, you should definitely check out Mark McArthur-Christie?s thorough examination of the movement, but the gist is this: the Lemania 5100 is a bullet-proof chrono with a central minute counter, and has been used in what are now classic watches by brands like Sinn, Omega, and Heuer, and the movement was adopted by a variety of military units worldwide for its robustness and incredibly useful central minutes counter. The movement was effectively killed around 2004, and collectors have been snapping up examples in recent years, driving up the value of watches housing it. Now, with the introduction of the DC86, Damasko has introduced yet another watch with an in-house-modified chronograph that essentially mimics the Lemania 5100 while adding even more functionality than past iterations, giving a new generation of enthusiasts an opportunity to experience this type of chronograph.
