Stunningly preserved 1946 post-WWII Jaeger-LeCoultre military-style wristwatch. This time-only piece perfectly captures the rugged elegance of mid-century Swiss horology. It is powered by the legendary, in-house manual-wind Caliber P469/A. For the serious vintage collector, this watch offers an exceptionally clean movement and an untouched, beautifully patinated factory dial that holds its original character beautifully.
Technical Specifications & Serial Matrix:
Dial: Completely original, unrestored champagne field dial. Features a crisp outer railroad minute track, luminous hour hands, and a sunken sub-seconds register at the 6 o'clock position.
The Case: Stainless steel snap-back case measuring 31.5 mm across (excluding the crown) and 40 mm lug-to-lug. The case remains a unpolished with crisp, sharp lines.
The Movement: Pristine, gilt-brass Caliber P469/A mechanical engine signed Jaeger-LeCoultre. It features 17 jewels and carries the unique serial number 414136, dating production tightly to 1946.
The movement is currently running and holding good time. A light movement service has been completed (jewel and pivot oil refresh to balance, escape wheel). Please note that this is an 80 year old movement and long term accuracy cannot be guaranteed. As with all vintage watches, the water resistance is not guaranteed. Watch case and dial have minor surface scratches and in overall good condition.
