Jaeger-LeCoultre Cal. 481 "Power Reserve Gauge"
Jaeger-LeCoultre Cal. 481 "Power Reserve Gauge" or commonly known as the Powermatic. A very crisp dial with minor aging around the edges. It does have a damaged mark on the dial at the 7 o’clock marker. A case in good condition with signs of wear and polishing.
The "Power Reserve Gauge" or later known as the Powermatic. The legendary Cal. 481, an automatic movement with power reserve function. The window underneath the 12 o’clock marker shows the hours remaining before the watch runs out of “power”. A function for “The Future” in the early 1950’s.
As many watches from Jaeger-LeCoultre have from this era it has the outer second track on the inside of the markers. Widening the aesthetic of the dial and giving it a good presence on the wrist and distinctive look no brand could replicate.
