Lecoultre Diving Chronograph E 2643...
The Shark in all its beauty.
It's been a long, very long time I didn't wear this one.
It is about time to give it some life and fun.
The Type XX case is so powerful. The WT bezel adds some coolness to the clean dial.
A nice vintage Chronograph.
Best,
Nicolas
Many, many cities on the bezel
With a very non Anglo-Saxon spelling 
Quite unlike the more subdued approaches of today, and adding character to the watch IMHO. And nice to see the roof tiles in action again 
Btw. does the Type XX case mean it is somehow related to the Breguet ones, or is it pure coincidence?

Eagle eye, sort of !.. Indeed, the case is identical to some Breguet type XX.. Guess, it also rather shows that both used the very same casemaker, at certain time episodes.. Best, hs [nt]

Thanks for the clarification!
As for eagle eye, cannot quite claim that - Nicolas provided the major hint in the post, my curiosity did the rest
Your pic simply is an awesome shot of this splendid Vintage.. This 2643 has a cool appeal, also !.. And that famous roof - Yes, summer feelings.. :))
Just some quick but hearty greetings, my friend !
By a piece you also have witnessed arriving in my stables,
some years ago..
Saying Hello, brother-in-arms !
Strong character, pleasure to look at..
Also thx, reminding me to take mine out of the
vault & give her some fresh air..
Cheers & Best,
hs

Yes, indeed !.. Funny thing is, that I found an ad, where it reads,that 3 inserts were provided.. Tachymeter, then..
.. A simple Minutes one (10,20 etc) and our Int'l one.
These also feature different small letters of 2643;
if I remember correctly, the Int'l was 2643 b)
Unfortunately can't find that pic with the 3, fast enough for now..
Best, hs

Love this watch...
the look and the bezel are interesting. Some may see it as busy, but it makes me want to travel.
I was reminded of the new IWC Timezoner just released. The dial is quite different and the bezel is actually functional for setting a timezone, but it has a similar vibe.

Strong looking one, for sure. The strong look is enhanced by the powerful lugs too. [nt]
