Does there a caliber from JLC exist which has the following characteristics:

- made in the 50-60 ties

- chronometer certified
- similar quality as PESEUX cal. 260 or ZENITH cal. 135 ?

Much thanks in advance and Cheers from

Yes, the caliber 478BW/SBr found in the Geophysic.

See www.markeleven.com for a photo.

Thanks for the information :-)
The movement looks really great, but it seems to be nearly impossible to find a nice piece in the market ?

Very difficult to find und actually expensive as well.
Just for those who are not fimilar with the Geophysic,
it is also a true anti-magnetic watch.
Compareable to the Patek Amagnetic, except it has sweep second.

Hi,

I just came back from the watch market in Cologne.

An incredible watch !!!!
