“Military Man”


Jaeger Lecoultre, JLC or in this “Lecoultre” are for all intents and purposes synonymous. JLC back in the day stamped their dials “Lecoultre” when a watch was destined for the American market.   This was done with the intent of avoiding high U.S import duties that often occurred on finished watches. Meanwhile over in Europe you’ll notice the dials stamped “Jaeger” or “Jaeger Lecoultre” in an attempt to keep good relations with Edmond Jaeger and the watch market over there. 


YEAR: ~1947


REFERENCE: E364


CASE: The 34mm stainless steel case wears larger than the diameter would suggest due to its minimal bezel design. The case appears to be unpolished as the facets on all four lugs are extremely sharp. There are some scratches on the caseback presumably from when the previous owner or watchmaker attempted to remove the screw-down caseback. Please note it is unclear if the crown was replaced some time in the past. 

 

DIAL: The dial pulls its inspiration from military watches that came before it. With its radium-filled, printed hour markers and railroad style minute track it was a military style watch for civilians. The dial itself appears to be in great condition. The hands are thought to have been relumed sometime in the past. 


MOVEMENT: The bumper automatic cal. 476 is running. The winding action is crispy and sets perfectly. The previous owner mentioned that the movement was serviced ~2017; however, we recommend having the watch serviced prior to daily wear. The watch was timed over a 24hr period including wear and non-wear and lost a little over 2 minutes in that time span. 


BRACELET: Comes on a 16mm genuine leather strap. 


Accessories: None
