87% of key specs known. Missing: hardening, AR coating.
20th-anniversary limited edition of the 2005 Precista Italian, listed in May 2025 in four "very limited" variations (numbers not stated) that share one product page; the Lépine, with the Unitas 6497-1, is this model, and the three Savonette versions with the 6498-1 are a separate model. Lépine LS: small running seconds at 9, fully decorated movement (heat-blued screws, Geneva-striped main plate). Product page: 316L steel cushion case, polished/brushed, 44mm, 52mm lug-to-lug, 12.5mm to the top of the crystal, 24mm lugs, 100m, 105g with strap, sapphire crystal and display back, signed screw-down crown; semi-matte black sandwich dial with Super-LumiNova X1-C3 numerals and indices and lumed steel hands. Movements are new old stock, serviced and regulated; the page quotes "17 jewel, 18,800vph" (ETA's figure for the caliber is 18,000 A/h). Strap and case made in Hong Kong. inspired_by is inferred from the cushion case and sandwich dial; Timefactors doesn't name a reference watch. Marked "Final production run"; the Lépine LS was sold out on 2026-10-25.
