A wonderful late 1940's or early 1050's LeCoultre Powermatic automatic wristwatch in stainless steel with beautifully aged original factory printed dial with power reserve indicator housed in a 34mm diameter case. I just love the late Art Deco look of these old Powermatic with that clear red low power reserve indicator on the dial. This example is all original and unpolished showing sigs of gentle wear throughout. The Jaeger-LeCoultre caliber 481 bumper style automatic movement is in excellent condition cosmetically and mechanically, freshly serviced here at Meticulous and keeping excellent time, ready to wear!
