I can however not find it in any movement list. It is a three register chronograph movement from around 1965. Anybody who can help me find info on Landeron Caliber 349?
best regards from Denmark

I know nearly nothing about Landeron 349. I have seen and own Landeron 48 and 51 and 248 e.g. but the 349 which has 3 subdials rings no bell for me.
I have a feeling it is based on the 149 version (which has 2 sub-dials only) which I have again heard is developed on the 148 but with maybe very very small changes.

So any information could be usefull, like:

When was it made this Landeron 349?

How is it compared in quality to the much more commonly known Valjoux 7736 (also with thrree subdials in position 3, 6 and 9) and the probably much better Valjoux 72

Why was it not used very much (or am I assuming wrong)?

Best regards from Denmark and John H
