Here is a fabulous, all original LeCoultre Memovox HPG (High Precision Guaranteed) from 1970 in a large size for the era. The golden sunburst dial is in very fine condition, the chapter ring has a blue scriprt LeCoultre logo and golden block hour markers with black contrast. On the inner edge of the chapter ring is a red minute track with lume stripes for the hours. The inner dial with a blue scrip Memovox logo, a black HPG logo and a red lume filled triangle indicating the set alarm time is in very fine condition with just a couple of marks around the center. It rotates when the upper crown is pulled out for setting the alarm. The black tapered baton hour and minute hands and red seconds hand are in very fine condition. The golden framed window at 3 o’clock displays the date, which can be semi quick-set by repeatedly turning the hands through midnight, then backwards through 22:00 and then through midnight again.

The alarm is set with the top crown. Winding the spring for the alarm is done by rotating the crown while fully depressed. By pulling the crown out one can rotate the inner dial to set the arrow at the desired alarm time. When the set time is reached the alarm buzzes loudly for about 15-20 seconds when fully wound. When the crown is in the outer position the alarm does not ring.

The 10K gold filled case is in fine condition, with slim lugs and the original crowns. The is light wear throughout, both on the face, the lugs and the sides. At the tips of the lugs some of the gold has been worn off but this is not really visible to the naked eye. The 10K gold filled case back is in fine condition with a few scratches and marks. The case does not appear to ever have been polished.

Inside the watch, LeCoultre’s exquisite 916 movement beats strongly and accurately to within about +12 seconds per day at the at the time very high rate of 28800 bph, which is why the model got the name HPG. The watch was fully serviced in August 2025 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.

The Memovox is one of the most iconic watches in history, and this HPG version looks fantastic on the wrist with its large size and wonderful dial and case. This is a watch that goes well with both formal and more casual wear and it’s a watch that is not only a great collector’s watch, it’s also an investment that will grow in value over the years.

Our watches are delivered in a luxury wooden watch box, fully serviced with a 12 month warranty that covers the mechanical functioning of the watch under normal use. We offer 14 days full return rights and are very proud of our reputation for outstanding customer satisfaction.
