They were one of the earliest haute horology brands to produce sport watches. The present example has a bold, period look that is as eye-catching today as it was over 50 years ago when it was new. The orange accents on the dial combined with the yellow anodized bezel give the watch an exciting, sporty look. • Condition: Dial is in excellent condition. Case is good, with scratches throughout and some fade to the bezel. The top chronograph pusher shows corrosion. Crystal has minor cracking. Movement is running at time of cataloging, but will require a full service for proper timekeeping. Overall, the present example is in good condition. Watch comes with a vintage LeCoultre box. • PROPERTY OF A GENTLEMAN Global Shipping We have customers in over 100 countries. We provide fully insured global shipping, expertly arranged by our team.
