Here we have from my collection a very rare  1974 Philip Morris Lemania 5012 automatic chronograph PVD Swiss Mens watch  This was the official watch of the McLaren Ford team that took the championship.  Overall the watch is in good condition and runs well.   Please read the full description below  Case  Original PVD case in black with some expected typical signs of wear on the sharp edges. Other than that it is in good condition  The case measures at 38.3mm excluding the crown and 43.8mm lug to lug with a 20mm lug size  Crystal  Plexi glass crystal in good condition with a few spots but no scratches.  Dial & Hands Original unrestored dial in great condition as seen in the pictures  Original hands in good condition functioning well minus a few marks as seen in the pictures  Bezel  Original sunken protected bidirectional bezel in good condition. It turns freely  Crown & Pushers  Original PVD crown functioning well. Quickset day and date function well. Winds and sets the time without issues  Original PVD pushers in good condition starting, stopping and resetting the chronograph to 12 without issues. The chrono hour hand is a fraction out of alignment as seen in the pictures  Case back  Original stainless steel case back in good condition minus a few expected scratches of use as seen in the pictures  Movement  Original Lemania 5012 cal in good condition for its age.  New balance staff installed, pivots oiled and the watch regulated.  The hack works as it should. Winding is smooth. Quickset day date functions well. Please note the dial does move a little when setting the time, probably a loose screw. I do always recommend a service on a vintage watch.  Strap  Perfectly matching new nato strap fitted in grey black and orange matching the case, hands & grey subdials  Overall this is a very rare presentation watch and not many were made. Perfect for a collector  I have provided every detail of the watch but feel free to ask any questions
