It seems to be genuine, but I do not have any info in this model. Looks like it is late 1970s/early 1980s. | ||

Your watch is a genuine JLC "Albatros" model from the early 1980s. Below are pictures of a few examples of these models from a 1983 JLC Catalog:  GregB | ||

Thank you Greg. Any idea what the value would be? The watch is in near mint condition. | ||

Sorry Mike, no idea of value. I don't see them traded very often on auction sites or watch seller sites. That means there isn't a lot of sales data to create an accurate valuation from. I don't think they were a very popular model among JLC collectors. In addition, they contain quartz, not mechanical movements, making them less desirable for most mainstream collectors. Sorry I can't be of more help. GregB | ||
