Can anyone please help me to identify this model? I have tried to trace the caliber by the number at the back but it does not correspond to any list.  | ||

From the watch�s design, I guess the movement inside is a cal. 476 (bumper automatic). Perhaps you will find a reference number inside the caseback. Ilja | ||

Hello Ilja, You where right on the caliber. I received an answer from JLC and it was a 476 from 1946. The watch was manufactured 1952 and the case is an E360. But do you know what JLC mean when claiming that this model is an automat without power reserve!? Do they mean power reserve indicator? (They did receive the picture so why bother to even mention it then...) Or do they mean something else that is related to the bumper automat? | ||

Hi Patben, thanks for posting the details you got from JLC. The 476 is the base caliber for the 481, and in fact the 481 caliber has a power reserve indication. So JLC is "closed" with it�s answer. Perhaps they just mixed up some things when they translated their knowledge from French to English. Ilja |
