I inherited my father's LeCoultre Automatic Memovox watch. It has a stainless steel oval case, an oval blue face with a darker blue ombred inner dial, and the logo and day indicator at 6 o'clock. The "numbers" on the face are actually silvertone (stainless steel?) dots, and the two crowns are marked. I'm pretty sure the band, which is a Speidel stretch, is not original. It's ticking along, but something's rattling inside. I can't get the back off to read identifying numbers and won't have a camera to photograph it until Monday. But I'd appreciate knowing whatever you can tell me, including service recommendations in the Washington, DC area. | ||

That's it exactly, down to the "22" in the date window. What can you tell me about it, and how do I set it's features? | ||

The bottom crown at 4:00 winds and sets the time, just like a normal mechanical watch. The top crown, winds and set the alarm. | ||

Thanks, Zaf! The photo you provided of the LeCoultre Automatic Memovox watch (oval blue face) was very helpful. Any idea how old this watch is and its approximate value? Besides a need for cleaning, a new crystal, and an appropriate band, it seems fine. | ||

It's a late 1960s watch. Value is $900-1300, depending on condition, originality, etc. |
