Jaeger-LeCoultre 6B/159 RAF Pilots Wristwatch c.1943

These beautiful wristwatches were issued to RAF navigators and pilots during the Second World War.

RAF watches from this period were supplied by several prestigious watch manufacturers including Omega, Jaeger Le-Coultre and Longines. All these watches followed a standard specification, which included a white dial with black Arabic numerals, centre seconds and blued steel non-luminous hands.

These watches are commonly referred to by their RAF stores reference number 6B/159. This RAF stores reference refers to aircraft navigation equipment.

The JLC 6B/159 watch for sale was produced around 1943 at the heart of WW2 and features a seldom found white MoD dial variant.

The JLC 6B/159 for sale, therefore, represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a genuine piece of horological and military history.

 

The Jaeger-LeCoultre 6B/159 for sale is in lovely overall condition, having been recently serviced by our highly skilled and experienced horologist.
The MoD replacement dial is in very good condition with no obvious flaws or blemishes.
The hands and crown are all correct to the original specification of the watch.
