I bought this chrono this weekend, was told from 1920, which I don�t believe! I do believe it is a landeron 54 movement, can anyone tell me the year it was made? Thanks in advance    | ||

I have no information and neither will anyone ones else I'd imagine, on the production dates of Leonidas. Seems to be more of a mid 1930s watch. | ||

The Landeron 54 did not begin production until 1937 so your watch is at most that old. However, this movement was still in production until 1970 (of course with modernizations & modifications) so that's a big span. From the appearance of your watch I'd guess 1940s or, possibly, early 1950s. The lack of shock protection on the movement puts it in that period. |
