Jaeger-LeCoultre: a military wrist watch RAF issue, 1956 from serial number, stainless steel case, signed JLC manual wind movement, round white dial with Arabic numerals in black, outer seconds track, black sword hands, centre seconds hand, the caseback with A.M. 6B/159, 4559/56, on a modern leather strap, no box and papers. Note: in 1956, Jaeger-leCoultre opted to rehouse many watches that were previously in chrome-plated cases, using existing external and internal components to produce a series of 'new' watches. The chrome-plated cases had proven not to be resilient to use, and stainless steel was chosen as the more suitable alternative. This watch is one of these pieces. (Case: 36mm excluding crown)
