JLC Master Mariner, '73: Between AP RoyalOak & VC Chronometre Royal

Saturday, March 2, 2024

A rare and innovative Sport-Steelwatch at the end of the price-segment (luxury) presented in 1973 right after the AP RoyalOak -- years before PP Nautilus (1977), VC Chronometre Royal (1975) and the IWC Steel-Line (1974ff) --; housing one of the most sophisticated automatic calibers of that time (JLC cal906) in Chronometer-grade and being the model for one or more of the following peers -- JLC ref24001 --> VC ref42001 --; we love it: For its design, for its relevance and for its rarity.
