Jaeger LeCoultre Master Mariner Chronometre, rare cal906 & Sector Dial


CHF 9,400

JLC Master Mariner Chronometer ref24000 -- the rare sport-chic steel watch made in just ~500 examples in 1973ff. by Jaeger LeCoultre as a response to the 1972 debuted AP Royal Oak.

One of the first sport steel watches and overlooked compared to AP Royal Oak and PP Nautilus. It is by far the rarest of these with the most sophisticated automatic movement -- the cal906 Chronometer by JLC.

The bracelet was made by Egli et Cie (Gay Freres competitor) for JLC and the overall design is so obviously a luxury steel-sportswatch that we are left wondering how this horological icon could have been overseen, so far.

Inside works the chronometer-grade JLC cal906, which has a second hacking-feature and was used in the celebrated Vacheron Constantin Chronometre Royal VC ref42001 as well and is a more sophisticated automatic movement than the JLC cal920 (aka VC1120 aka AP2120 aka PP28-255). It is working in every aspect, flawless and precise in every function after our partial-service -- also the special date-quickset and second-hacking.
