Eberhard & Co. - 31022/10 - Men - 1998

Eberhard & Co. - Champion Chronograph "Lemania 5100" - Ref. 31022 CA - Men / Unisex - 1990s

Splendid and iconic automatic chronograph Eberhard & Co. Champion, reference 31022 CA (31022/10), dating from the 1990s. A piece of great collectible interest, characterized by a stunning configuration with a black "Reverse Panda" dial with three white/silver counters in contrasting light, embellished with elegant gold details.
The heart of this timepiece is the legendary self-winding mechanical movement Lemania 5100, famous for its military robustness and for the iconic central chronograph minute function.
The watch is presented in an exceptionally rich set, ideal for collectors, including original wooden box, period tag (with the original price in Lire of L. 2,025,000), additional bracelet links, and a very rare original Eberhard second dial replacement in burgundy/burgundy-gold with its components.
Condition and Recent Interventions
The watch has just undergone a complete documented service (dated 18/03/2026), visible in the attached photos.
Mechanical: It runs perfectly in all functions (time, date-setting, and chronograph reset).
Interventions performed: During the service, gaskets were replaced and a new crystal was mounted.
Note on the crystal: The installed crystal is made of exalite/plexiglass (plastic), faithful to the original specifications of the era. Due to the intrinsic delicacy of the material, the crystal has unfortunately already sustained some light superficial scratches from use after the intervention, visible when viewed against the light (easily polishable with Polywatch if desired by the future buyer).
