I recently acquired this LeCoultre Powermatic watch:

Serial number is 619,726. Zaf, can you give an idea of production date?

I think this may be one of the "Mark 7" designated models as per this post:

And this advertisement:

The dial seems to be an exact match. The case is a little different than the picture, but the lugs do over the bezel, as GregB describes.

Sorry for all the links, but the pictures are a bit large for the format of this forum.

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide,

The production is from 1949 approximately, so likely to be one of the early ones. Most these movements were shipped to the USA.

...over 100,000 made. So I think it is by far, their most prolific vintage model.
