Here is a vintage military-style Jaeger-LeCoultre, reference E159, dating back to the 1940s — an iconic piece from the World War II era.
Its 34 mm stainless steel case houses a naturally aged cream dial with Arabic numerals and a railroad minute track, both typical features of officer’s watches from that time. Its leaf hands still has the original radium. It is powered by Jaeger-LeCoultre’s in-house Caliber P478, beating at 18,000 vibrations per hour, with 15 jewels and a power reserve of approximately 40 hours.
Fitted with a black leather strap, it comes with our 6-month warranty.
Please note that if the watch is shipped outside of Switzerland, the strap cannot be included. In this case, feel free to contact us and we will provide you with a selection of straps to choose from.
