Here is a wonderful, all original LeCoultre Memovox from 1962. The two tone dial is in fine condition, having taken on a gentle and even patina. The outer dial/chapter ring has a steel LeCoultre logo, art deco numerals at the poles and steel strip hour markers in between. At the rim of the inner dial is a painted minute track with lume stripes at the hours. The lume has somewhat disintegrated. The inner silver sunburst dial has a black triangle that rotates for accurately setting the alarm with the top crown. It is in fine condition with a darker patina, somewhat concentrated around the center of the dial. The dauphine hands are in fine condition with some wear visible under magnification and the original lume intact but degraded.

The alarm is set with the top crown. Winding 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 stainless steel bezel/watch face is in fine condition with some wear throughout, perhaps most notable at around 4 and 7 o‘clock. The stainless steel case with long batman lugs and the original crowns is in fine condition with some marks of wear and age throughout, in particular at the lugs. The stainless steel case back is in fine condition with a brushed pattern and a few scratches and marks. The case does not appear to ever have been polished.

The watch comes on an after market leather strap and buckle of good quality.

Inside the watch, LeCoultre’s high grade K814 movement beats strongly and accurately to within about +12 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in December 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 version looks fantastic on the wrist with its wonderfully aged 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.
