Lausanne was a trade name used by the company.  This timepiece features a 17-jewel Swiss Venus 188 chronograph movement with mechanical manual-wind. The reset-to-zero function on the stop-watch works just fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis watch carries a classic two-register chronograph dial with a 30-minute sub-dial at 3 o'clock and a constant seconds sub-dial at 9 o'clock.

Dial shows a bit of patina as you can see from the photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCase is approx. 39mm by 42mm which means it's a nice fit without overpowering the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e  \n\n\u003cp\u003eWear it with the confidence that you are as distinctive as the watch.
