1940s stainless steel vintage Jaeger-LeCoultre watch

£965.00

Case size 29.8mm

Strap 16mm

Ref 1160

A finely made mid-size 1940s Jaeger‑LeCoultre wristwatch presented in a stainless steel circular case with tapered lugs. Measuring 29mm in diameter and 37.2mm lug‑to‑lug, with a 16mm strap width, this elegant mid‑century design reflects the refined simplicity of early post‑war Swiss watchmaking.

The silvered dial features applied gilt dot hour markers, Arabic numerals at the quarters, gilt sword hands and a subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o’clock. Signed to the dial and fitted with the manual‑winding Jaeger‑LeCoultre calibre P480, movement no. 658944, housed in case no. 477434. The movement is of high quality, typical of JLC’s reputation for precision and craftsmanship during the 1940s.

The watch presents a clean, period‑correct aesthetic with classic proportions and understated styling. Stainless steel examples from this era are notably less common than gold‑filled or plated variants, making this a desirable and collectible piece of early Jaeger‑LeCoultre production.

Each of our watches is carefully cleaned and serviced by an experienced watchmaker to ensure reliable performance while preserving its vintage character. For added peace of mind, it is supplied complete with a 12‑month mechanical warranty and a new presentation box.
