Its clean, classically proportioned design captures the elegance of mid-century Swiss watchmaking and sits comfortably under a shirt cuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eInside is the highly regarded in-house calibre K881, an automatic movement with date and central seconds. It belongs to JLC’s celebrated 880-series family, a major step forward from the earlier “bumper” automatics. It uses a full 360° rotor that winds in both directions and beats at 19,800 vph. The “K” prefix denotes JLC’s own patented Kif shock protection. This family was so well engineered that its lineage continues in the brand’s movements today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe movement serial number, 1727986, dates production to circa 1965.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA quietly confident piece of horological history from one of Switzerland’s great manufactures, and an ideal everyday dress watch for the discerning collector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Specs.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReference\u003c\/strong\u003e: Jaeger-LeCoultre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e:  c.1965\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement\u003c\/strong\u003e:  Cal.

The silver dial is in lovely condition and the lugs are still sharp and bright. There are the usual small scratches on the case and crystal but nothing to detract from the beauty of the watch (please see the images to see the marks of 61 years on a watch). There are receipt papers accompanying it showing that it was serviced in 2012; but it is still running very strongly and accurately.  We've paired it with a new green leather strap which suits it really well. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt's hard to think of a better, more classy vintage watch than this example.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Chronicle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55569801150801,"sku":"0072","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/4148\/5649\/files\/0072_JLC_auto-19.jpg?v=1793467371","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagechronicle.co.uk\/products\/jaeger-lecoultre","provider":"Vintage Chronicle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
