Founded in 1833 in Switzerland’s Vallée de Joux, LeCoultre quickly became one of the most innovative names in watchmaking, producing over 400 calibres and pioneering key horological advancements. Before merging with Jaeger in the 1930s to form Jaeger-LeCoultre, the brand supplied movements to elite names including Patek Philippe. Known for precision and refinement, vintage LeCoultre watches remain sought after for their craftsmanship, heritage, and understated military elegance.

What’s on Offer

An excellent example of mid-century military design from the middle of WW2, this vintage LeCoultre military issued 6B/159 AM presents in charming, honest condition. The ecru dial boasts a rich, even patina, with intact Arabic numerals—charming deterioration on 2 and 4 only adds to its vintage character. The blued steel hands remain sharp, sitting proudly beneath the original crystal. Housed in a polished stainless steel case with minimal wear, this piece boasts original military markings on the case back. A beautiful and collectible piece of LeCoultre and military history and is a charming watch on the wrist - we love this one! Rarer than hens teeth as the boss would say - we don't expect it to around for long.
