The grey dial on this Jaeger-LeCoultre men’s vintage watch really caught our eye. Very distinctive, and with a calendar function. Model reference 21008.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the serial number on the movement we can date this watch to being made in circa 1967.
CONDITION
Jaeger-LeCoultre are known for their quality, but arguably their best known watch is the Reverso. This watch does not flip like a Reverso, but the case is larger than most of the Reverso models and that is welcomed by most wearers today. This watch has a stainless steel case which is unpolished, and does show a few marks. The grey dial is lovely, and having the date window at 6 gives the dial a great balance. The acrylic glass does have some marks, most noticeable is a small crack at the bottom right corner. This is a shame, but doesn’t detract too much from the rest of the watch. This watch has the Jaeger-LeCoultre K886 manual wind movement inside with semi quick set date, and this is working well. The leather strap is new. This appears to be quite a scarce reference from Jaeger-LeCoultre, and is far cheaper than the Reverso too.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
