Jaeger-LeCoultre Dress Watch – Military Style, Central Seconds, Radium Dial, Stainless Steel (Circa 1940s)

A beautifully honest and character-rich vintage Jaeger-LeCoultre from the 1940s, this military-style dress watch with central seconds reflects the utilitarian elegance of wartime watchmaking. Combining restrained design, mechanical quality, and strong originality, it is an excellent example of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s understated yet highly capable output during this period.

Robust, legible, and timeless, this is a watch that offers exceptional value within vintage JLC collecting.

The Case – Purposeful and Well Preserved

Housed in a stainless steel case measuring 33.5 mm, this watch offers excellent proportions for its era and wears beautifully on the wrist today. The case remains very sharp and most likely original, with clean lines and well-defined edges that suggest careful wear and minimal polishing.

A plexiglass crystal protects the dial, maintaining the warm, authentic look expected of a 1940s timepiece. The watch retains its original unsigned crown, consistent with many military-influenced watches of the period.

The Dial – Radium and Military Character

The watch features an original radium dial, a defining characteristic of military-style watches from the 1940s. Designed for maximum legibility, the dial has a purposeful, no-nonsense aesthetic that balances function and elegance.

The blue steel hands provide a beautiful contrast against the dial. The hands have most likely been relumed, while the dial retains its original radium—disclosed with full transparency. This combination preserves both usability and the strong vintage character of the piece.

The Movement – Calibre P478

Powering the watch is the Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre P478, a reliable and well-regarded manual-wind movement featuring central seconds, a desirable complication during this era.

The movement has been recently serviced and is keeping time very well, making the watch fully functional and ready for regular wear.

Excellent Sound Deadening Material!
Style: 10 SqFt, Style: 10 SqFt
I installed Kilmat Sound Deadening in my truck, and I’m extremely impressed with the results. The material is thick, pliable, and easy to cut to fit doors, floor panels. It sticks very well to metal surfaces and doesn’t peel, even after heating it slightly to make it more flexible. After installation, I immediately noticed a reduction in road noise and vibrations. Worth the money!!

A Must Have For Car Restorations!
Style: 80 mil 36 sqft, Style: 80 mil 36 sqft
I have been installing this matting in my 74 Datsun 260Z restore and very pleased with the ease of application and overall quality. My car has bedliner coating inside and this stuff sticks extremely well and is easy to trim and shape as well. I have just started installing it and using the rollers to work it in place but I can already tell a difference with just the little bit I have added....has reduced the resonance in the metal already. It's not a fast process but know it will be very rewarding once complete.

Great sound mat for the price!
Style: 50 mil 50 SqFt, Style: 50 mil 50 SqFt
This is a good product. Many people go with KILMAT because of the value to price point. I did as well. When you clean the surface (in my case it was all painted metal) this stuff sticks very well. I do recommend you use a seam roller of some type, I used Lumiteco 3 piece roller set. This will help with adhesion and mostly flatten the overlapped edges. It also helps you see where you have rolled as it leaves little grooves. The difference when we had no sound mats and after was very impressive. We haven't finished our install yet and it is quieter than when we had an interior in the van. There are thicker mats available in other brands, but this will work great for our van build, but this helps keep the weight down. It is quality material, just be careful when you are removing the backing, the edge of the foil face can cut you. I suggest you layout where you are installing the mat and cut to fit. From what I have read, you don't need to cover every inch in the vehicle, just spot install for a big difference. I chose to cover most surfaces to help keep sound out when we are sleeping in the van. We haven't finished putting the van yet, but we have driven it around and been very satisfied with this product.

Excellent sound deadening mats
Style: 80 mil 36 sqft, Style: 80 mil 36 sqft
Purchased these for a 2020 Lexus RX350 due to the hollow sound of the car doors when shutting. They sounded cheap. The mats are super sticky and I applied them when the doors were hot from sitting in the sun. They alubutyl sticks like crazy and the end result was perfect. Now I have solid sounding doors. Good quality product.
