Description
This is a vintage, 1950s LeCoultre Futurematic with power-reserve complication and the caliber 497 automatic winding movement, which has been recently cleaned and is functioning perfectly. The 35mm 10k gold-filled case is very fine and is rare to find in this condition without any wear-through. Notice the back-wind and back-set crown. The original dial looks excellent, with oversized sub-registers, retaining the original gold markers, sword hands – with only minor and usual aging. It is very uncommon to find these watches with original dials, making this a true collector’s piece. These watches indicate how much power reserve remains in the mainspring and indicates in hours the amount remaining on the left register. The eccentric lugs are quite elongated, adding to this LeCoultre visual appeal.
