58 years and counting....
I've owned this watch just over 5 years now, originally purchased at Greenwich MT in Zurich. Three years ago, I submitted the the case and caliber number to JLC hoping for more information on the watch. Aside from the date of production, not much was available and I've been wondering this forum can provide more information/stories.
This is one of my favorite dress watches to wear, which still looks amazingly good for it's age!
Watch details:
- Reference: 2983 (steel)
- Calibre: 478/6
- Case number: 569381
- Date of production: 1953

Very nice small watch, and small is not pejorative, in my book.
I would say timeless and elegant. Not specially rare, you will still have some issues to find one like yours in such a god condition. The movement, the 478 is not specially rare, as 80 000 were made in 20 years ( 1945 - 1965 ). But it is a good, reliable ...
