Sure my friend
The "flat 3" and lack of Broadarrow on the dial are just some differentiators for the RAAF version. There are more differences apart from the dials as well.
Still under the radar, this watch which is one of the vintage JLC which counts a lot.
A sober look, hiding a wonderful movement, with History. What more to ask? Best Nicolas
One of the best they ever made.
Purpose built to satisfy the military specification (Mk. 11 specification). Purely for the RAF and RAAF, too. No civilian versions of the JLC.
While the cal.P478 BWSBr in the Geophysic E168
evolved from the cal. 488 SBr in the E161, the E168 does not fulfill the Ministry of Defense's Mk. 11 specs (nor was it mean to) so we can't say it's the civilian version of the Mark 11. A descendant maybe, but definitely not a civilian Mark 11. ...
It doesn't fulfill the MOD's specs, of course, because it is not a military watch. That is
Why I said it was a civilian MK 11. Or a descendant of the MK 11. Best, my friend. Nicolas
I am not that knowledgable ..
This is the first time i was made aware of these ))) ah, the deep history and heritage of Jäeger LeCoultre !
The oversized crown really makes the watch stand out.
A great design decision from JLC and functional, too. It makes it easier for the aircrew navigators with gloves on to wind and set the watch.
Form follows function
Is definitely a design principle that can produce great results Mind sharing the RAAF in a close-up, too?
