LeCoultre Futurematic Watch 10K Gold Filled Vintage Mens Serviced

  
The 38mm Futurematic is a self-winding wristwatch manufactured by Jaeger-LeCoultre between 1951 and 1959. It was the first watch to not have a crown for winding the mainspring, instead having a flat crown on the back for setting the time.

The Futurematic is powered exclusively through motion and a bumper-winding movement. The Futurematic is known for being a groundbreaking watch that was released in the early 1950s. It features an unconventional design with the crown under the watch, and is powered by a 497 automatic caliber with a bumper rotor. The Futurematic also has a "hacking". Functionality that allows users to set the time to the second, and features an innovative power reserve system.

This example of the Futurematic is in excellent condition for a watch that was made in the early 50's. The gold filled case contrasted with the metallic dial and painted black hands make this watch a standout and a very nice, and historic addition to your watch collection.
