I am having trouble identifying the model name and date of this LeCoultre watch. Serial numer: 292516. I would appreciate any help.   | ||

Is this an Aristocrat with a tank case? | ||

No. The "Aristocrat" (also informally called a "Grasshopper" because of its shape) was only offered as a lady's model and looked nothing like your watch. I believe your watch was known as a "Uniplan"; JLC's generic term for these early rectangular models. | ||

Thanks for the help... If it is a Uniplan, that would date it to the 30's and not the late 40's. | ||

I don't have my production/serial table handy, but from memory, a 200,000 movement serial would be about 1942. | ||

That works... I will list it for sale on ebay in 2 weeks, unless some else has a better idea. Thanks for your help. Peter |
