Jaeger-LeCoultre Dress Watch – Military Style, Central Seconds, Radium Dial, Stainless Steel (Circa 1940s)

A beautifully honest and character-rich vintage Jaeger-LeCoultre from the 1940s, this military-style dress watch with central seconds reflects the utilitarian elegance of wartime watchmaking. Combining restrained design, mechanical quality, and strong originality, it is an excellent example of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s understated yet highly capable output during this period.

Robust, legible, and timeless, this is a watch that offers exceptional value within vintage JLC collecting.

The Case – Purposeful and Well Preserved

Housed in a stainless steel case measuring 33.5 mm, this watch offers excellent proportions for its era and wears beautifully on the wrist today. The case remains very sharp and most likely original, with clean lines and well-defined edges that suggest careful wear and minimal polishing.

A plexiglass crystal protects the dial, maintaining the warm, authentic look expected of a 1940s timepiece. The watch retains its original unsigned crown, consistent with many military-influenced watches of the period.

The Dial – Radium and Military Character

The watch features an original radium dial, a defining characteristic of military-style watches from the 1940s. Designed for maximum legibility, the dial has a purposeful, no-nonsense aesthetic that balances function and elegance.

The blue steel hands provide a beautiful contrast against the dial. The hands have most likely been relumed, while the dial retains its original radium—disclosed with full transparency. This combination preserves both usability and the strong vintage character of the piece.

The Movement – Calibre P478

Powering the watch is the Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre P478, a reliable and well-regarded manual-wind movement featuring central seconds, a desirable complication during this era.

The movement has been recently serviced and is keeping time very well, making the watch fully functional and ready for regular wear.

High quality kaftan.
Size: XX-Large, Color: White
This kaftan robe is well made, and the fabric is quality material. It washed well and I hung it to dry. I fluffed it in the dryer for a few minutes to shake out the wrinkles and it turned out perfect. I'll be getting for more colors of this easy wear item.
