Help Identifying What This Is?

Post by namor » Thu Oct 22, 2020 2:49 pm

Is anyone familiar with this DPW chrono? I saw one on ebay, with an Italian air force squadron name on it (4 Stormo Caccia), and a Lemania 5100 in it. Panda dial, looked pretty nice, but I'm uncertain about DPW - was it a maker, or re-brander, or?

DPW was a Genoa based company born in 1979.
They bought cases from Candino, Breitling and Eberhard and built sport and divers watches.
DPW watches were often sold in military PX's and the company customized dials with many different logos.

I had a DPW watch - it was a $200 quartz thing and was actually pretty cool
