Here is a fabulous, all original Jaeger-LeCoultre ultra slim dress watch from 1980. The brushed silver dial is in excellent condition, with a black script JLC logo and barely any marks. It has steel strip hour markers with black contrast, twin markers at 12 o’clock. The slim baton hands with central black contrast are in very fine condition. Note that this watch does not have a seconds hand in order to keep the profile ultra slim.

The ultra slim stainless steel watch case with short, slightly spread lugs and the original crown is in fine condition with light overall wear both at the lugs and on the case sides, in particular one scuff at around 2 o’clock. The brushed stainless steel case back is in very fine condition, with light overall wear. The case does not appear to ever have been polished.

The watch comes on an after market bovine leather strap of good quality with the original JLC steel buckle in fine condition.

Inside the watch, LeCoultre’s caliber 895 beats strongly and accurately to within about +-12 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in February 2026 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.

This is one of those iconic looking watches JLC is known for, a true dress watch that looks very elegant and subtle on the wrist. It is a watch that goes well with most occasions and is a great daily driver.

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.

NB! Note that we are based in Switzerland and that the buyer is responsible for any import fees their country may impose on a purchase from abroad. Ask us if you have any questions.
