A marvel of a vintage Lecoultre Mark VII Weems.

A fresh picture of my Lecoultre Mark VII Weems from the early II World War. A watch loaded with history, and full of charm. And... what a character! Best, Nicolas ...

Thanks. M4

Commander Weems was the inventor of the 60 seconds rotating bezel for the time synchronization during the flight, in the mid Thirties. [nt]
