Amanico explores a vintage Jaeger-LeCoultre Calatrava-style watch with a copper dial. Community experts identify its potential reference and caliber.

I don't know the reference for this one, but I find it awesome. Certainly from the end Forties, early Fifties. It associates some very interesting elements: A nice oversized case ( for that time ) circa 37 mm, a sublime light copper dial, great lugs, and a manual movement ( Cal 470? ) Did you notice

Did you notice the brushed finish of the dial?

As for the movement, it is not specially decorated, but it is nice looking, though.

And it is not often seen!

Best,

Similar to the 2953...

Looks very similar to the 2953. Do the case back look like this? Ignore the 2983 on the sticker. The 2983 have different lugs. Inside looks like Cal P450. Very nice! Best Blomman
