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.

Love!
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It’s a little runny but honestly doesn’t bother me at all. Gives me a good glow with a little coverage! Better than any expensive ones I’ve used & layers well with or without makeup. Just wish it was a higher spf but definitely buying again.

Great for sensitive skin
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I usually have problems with fragrance in almost any face cream or sunscreen, and my skin reacts very easily, so I’m always careful with what I use. I tried the COOLA Organic Face Sunscreen SPF 50 Sunblock Lotion (Fragrance Free) and I’m honestly impressed. It feels very light on the skin, doesn’t irritate my face at all, and finally a sunscreen that doesn’t have that strong smell that usually bothers me. It absorbs well, works great under makeup, and gives good daily protection without feeling greasy. If you have sensitive skin or issues with fragrance like I do, this one is definitely worth trying.

Love this sunscreen
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I would love to buy again, but I go through sunscreen, I have to find a little less expensive one. No burn, dewy not greasy look. Great for mature skin. No fragrance, works well, melts right in the skin. I do love this product and the spray too!
