The Lemania Limited Edition

From Nivrel -

Although I have posted about this particular model previously, it is one that still calls to me.

40 mm stainless steel case with display back, this is a subtle stunner.  But what will draw many is embedded in the model 
name - Lemania.  Under the hood beats the Lemania 8810.  This is a wonderfully flat, self-winding movement with a pretty sexy provenance.  Previously known as the Longines L990, it was acquired by Lemania in the darkness before the dawn of the mechanical watch renaissance.  Limited to 30 pieces total, this is something special.
