Right...Graham, this Lemy Tg195 was issued to Swedish Military, equipped with Cal.2225. You may find another Lemy having the same asymmetric case issued to British RAF (Cal.2220). The Cal.2220 is a completely one-push chronograph movement but the Cal.2225 is the Cal.2220 modified with removal of all the chronograph function (e.g., no column wheel). The push piece of Tg195 is for hacking the balance wheel and then zero setting (the second hand) and pushing the crown out for setting time (all these three at once).
Regards,
Joe
P.S. Please do not ask me what Tg195 stands for??? It's been a riddle for a very long time already! I welcome all the possible input in this regard if anyone knows.

thats a rare one Joe. if i'm not mistaken its the swedish military version.
different to the other versions in that it has an assymetric case to protect the crown. much harder to find that the other Lemania 1 buttons of the time. i had 2 of the others but never managed to get a TG195. nice watch Joe. Graham

This Explo is my problem of the moment
As the song of The Clash: " Should I stay or shoudl I go "....LOL I'm now re considering adding it in my collection. I'm kind of attracted by this speical look, a bit like the Milgauss Green Glass... A weird watch, but appealing, at the same time... Thank...

Fifty Fatham. One of those "evergreen" watch of modern times. Great looking and fits the weather in Paris now. By the way how hot is it?

Beautiful watch and pics. Nicolas
Too bad about the hair on the sleeve. Thought that was on my screen for a second. LOL cheers fernando
Finally I got it, why I didn´t get one ...

Different emotions...
I like watches that take on various hues under different lighting conditions. Vert nice, Art. Thanks Andrew Breguet La Tradition at sunset...

Just picked this up last weekend. Although it may be the most photographed watch in history, I'm still wondering where it's been all my adult life....
