Fortis
Cosmonaut Chronograph --
Lemania
5100 Movement
There
are lots of Fortis Cosmonauts out
there, but this is the one that
everyone wants, as this one is
powered by the Lemania 5100
movement. Features a saphire
crystal and anti-reflective black
paint on the dial, for amazing
legibility. Of all this Lemania
5100's out there, this is one of
the smaller, more comfortable
models, but is rock solid in
every way. All the photos below
are the actual watch being sold.

This
chronograph features a unidirectional
(divers) bezel, marked in minutes.
Screw-down pushers will prevent you from
starting or stopping the chronograph by
mistake. Chronograph functions (start /
stop / reset) are crisp and accurate, and
the watch runs strong and keeps good time.
The black paint on the dial is stunning --
black, anti-reflective. To my eye, the
dial and hands are nearly flawless. The
luminous is strong . . . this one glows
like a torch!

This
watch is being sold on its original,
full-length bracelet, with a diver's
extension. All links are included;
estimated to fit up to 8-1/4 inch wrist.

The
Reference Number for this model is
605.22.142; serial number is 1517. Marked
as "Official Cosmonauts Chronograph, the
case shows little wear.

Heuer
chronographs have had a strong rise in
their values over the past few months, and
this version of the Carrera is one of the
rarest of all the Heuers. Below, you see
this Carrera in Heuer's 1985 catalog. We
don't see many of these Carreras, and you
certainly will not find one in better
condition -- cosmetically or mechanically.
So whether you will be racing your Porsche
Carrera in the vintage races, or merely
timing the morning commute, this Heuer
Carrera is one of the ultimate
chronographs for motorsports enthusiasts.
