Horological Meandering

The lugs themselves don't move, only the inner section that keeps the crown pushed in moves. It is some pretty tricky machining. I often thought it looked like something

 

designed by Campagnolo. With that lock flipped up it's tricky manipulating the crown but as long as the watch is strapped on the wrist there is zero chance of the crown popping out. I believe that the Militare was their 2nd model (after the Milimetri). The black dialed one was a very early one. The blue one was one of only 4 made with a blue dial. 43mm but with no crown at 3 they are very comfortable even on my small wrist. Chronoscopio was also an early piece. Their 1st chronograph. Neither model had AR coated crystals.
