This watch is based on the calibre 528/1 movement and was listed by Jaeger LeCoultre under ref. number 5918. The model was built from 1969-1979.
Instead of the usually used levelling screws, which are operated from inside the case, the Atmos VII has one wheel each on the left and right outside of the base for levelling.
Condition:
Freshly overhauled movement. Absolutely reliable and accurate.
Very nice case condition.
The photos are not "embellished", the case condition is as shown in the photos.
There are traces of cleaning on the dial in the 11-12 area, which can be seen in the photo showing a close-up of the dial.
Comes with original box, but this has heavy signs of wear to the back.
Price: This watch is no longer available. Please contact me if you are looking for a similar Atmos watch.
