This is a description of a rare Australian Army model of Jaeger-LeCoultre, manufactured in the 1940s. The base model is similar to the W.W.W. "Dirty Dozen" delivered to the British Army, but it features unique characteristics of the Australian Army model, such as only the serial number being engraved on the case back and a spring bar design. It boasts a beautiful Cal.479 movement with Geneva stripes and gold-plated finish, a substantial screw-back waterproof case, and excellent visibility with a black luminous dial. These features combine practicality characteristic of military specifications with the renowned quality of Jaeger-LeCoultre. The patina and aging add to its charm, showcasing the distinctive military model aesthetics.
