Πιθανόν να χρειάζεται και άδεια οπλοφορίας,αφού άνετα μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί και σαν όπλο !!!

JLC Mark XI


There is in the watch collecting world a dedicated group whose primary focus is on collecting military wristwatches.

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Mark XI is one of the most sought after and iconic watches within that genre. And this particular example shows why it is such a desired and important watch.
It has since been restored by one of the country’s foremost watchmakers.

More commonly known as the “Mk.XI" or "Mk.11,” the 6B/346 design reflected lessons
learned during the war and was much larger watch than most of the wartime 6B wristwatches.

The JLC calibre 488 SBr movement is a 12.5 ligne, 16-jewel work of art featuring Glucydur balance, Breguet-type Nivarox hairspring, non-magnetic curb pins, and amazing finishing. This movement was specific to the 6B/346 watches, whereas the calibre 89 used by IWC was used in many other watches.

The case back markings on this example place it as S/N 3292, with a movement serial number of 594867. This means our particular Mk XI was part of the third batch of watches ordered by the MOD in January 1949. The total number of JLC Mark XI's came to 2950 between 1948 and 1953.

It has a second-generation broad arrow dial and pointed hands combination, the standard RAF case back and fixed lugs. The case whilst worn and with scratches retains its light satin finish. The dial has aged hour markers but the numerals are now clean and bright. The matte black dial has also stood the test of time.

Though a very small number of dedicated wristwatches were issued to the German navy in the late 19th century, it really wasn’t until WWI that the men’s wristwatch saw extensive use. Pocket watches were necessary for coordinating charges and calculating artillery fire, but had to be put away when one needed the use of both hands. Eventually, soldiers began soldering on wire lugs to their pocket watches and fitting them with leather straps, and soon watch and jewelry companies caught on. When soldiers returned home from the Great War with their “trench watches,” the fad took hold, and it finally became fashionable for men to wear wristwatches, which were previously thought distinctly feminine.

Originally designed by American Lieutenant Commander Philip Van Horn Weems, the Second-Setting watch was a patented Weems invention for use in celestial navigation. In order to synch the watch with a signal emitted via radio that gave a pilot a precise time reference, Weems developed a movable bezel controlled via a secondary crown. This way, the user could monitor the margin of error between the watch’s timekeeping and that of the radio signal, thereby minimizing possible navigational mistakes. This concept was later expanded upon by Charles Lindberg with his Hour Angle watch.

These watches date to WWII and were produced by Omega, Longines and JLC for use by RAF navigators. They received the Mk 7A (6B/159) designation and follow a spec calling for a watch with a white dial, black Arabic numerals, central seconds, non-luminous, blue steeled hands and a chrome or stainless steel case. Despite seeing wartime action and many examples receiving replacement dials over the years, many of these timepieces still exist on the market in decent condition. (That they were fitted with excellent movements, such as the venerable hand-wound Omega 12.68N, certainly helps.) The modern Longines Heritage Military recalls the design of the original.

Produced by Elgin, Waltham and Bulova, this 30-32mm watch was made in several different iterations to a standard called for by the U.S. military (though versions were also issued to other Allied forces under the “6B” designation). A simple, time-only watch with a black dial (though rarer white versions exist), white Arabic numerals and hands and 60-minute graduations, so many A-11s were produced that the watch is sometimes referred to as “the watch that won the War.” Mk II offers a modern, updated version called the Cruxible for $649.

This cinematic moniker describes a group of watches from 12 different Swiss brands produced under contract to the British MoD and delivered in 1945. Though each company’s model differed slightly, the watches featured 35-38mm cases in either stainless steel or plated base metal, black dials with radium lume, mechanical movements regulated to chronometer grade, screw-down case backs (with the exception of the IWC model) and military markings. In total, about 150,000 pieces were produced, so it’s still possible to nab a Dirty Dozen watch for a few thousand dollars.
