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

Eberhard & Co. - Champion Chronograph "Lemania 5100" - Ref. 31022 CA - Men / Unisex - 1990-1999

Splendid and iconic automatic chronograph from Eberhard & Co., Champion, reference 31022 CA (31022/10), dating from the 1990s. A piece of great collector interest, characterized by a stunning configuration with a black "Reverse Panda" dial with three white/silvered sub-dials in contrast, enhanced by elegant gold details.
The heart of this timepiece is the legendary automatic mechanical movement Lemania 5100, famous for its military robustness and for the iconic central chronograph minute function.
The watch comes in an exceptionally rich set, ideal for collectors, including original wooden box, era tag (with the original price in Lire of L. 2,025,000), extra links for the bracelet, and a very rare original Eberhard replacement sub-dial 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 works perfectly in all functions (time, date setting, and chronograph reset).
Interventions performed: During the service, gaskets were replaced and a new crystal was mounted.
Glass note: The installed crystal is hesalite/plexiglass (plastic), faithful to the original specifications of the era. Due to the material’s intrinsic delicacy, 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).
