Hi there
Even more interesting.
We have discussed over PM the fact that Pattern 6 stopwatches were almost exclusively Waltham ones, used for Sonar range finding and with a very short duration, not a 60 minute timer at all.
So it seemed that your stopwatch had a different back on it.
However.....
I do not believe this is an original Lemania dial, the Lemania script is wrong, and the printing looks a little basic, with variation in line thickness (over one line) and a lack of crispness to the ends of the numerals.
The WW2 Lemania stopwatches I have seen have dials of much greater style and font decoration than this (Lemania did Patt 4 ones, and others).
So, an old PAtt 6 case, a 1-hr (different from what wasin the case) movement and a reprinted dial.
It is fair to say this is not a collectors piece, they love originality. However, as a useful piece with strong family provenance, it is great. I love it.

If it's Lemania-powered, I'm interested. Tool Chrono - interested. Dive Chrono - interested. Interesting - interested
