LeCoultre Bumper Automatic
Hi everyone ! Just picked up this little time piece at a flea market and was wondering if anyone had knowledge to share about this LeCoultre. I think it’s from the 1950’s, but I haven’t got much more info..

That's a good find. I don't know anymore than Google TBH but it's a great looking watch and probably worth investing a service in.
Could be as early as 1948 (Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced a power reserve indicator, using the LeCoultre Caliber 481 in that year), but probably early 50s. Excellent find!
Man, that's an awesome find 😍😍😍
I had a similar one… lovely watch. Early 50’s
Trully excellent find, congrats 👏 It is a Powermatic. I am not completely sure, but it could be that the case belongs to US market watch, and the caliber was 'upgraded' to the European one.
Do you have a picture of the inside of the case's back?
The case seems to be made in Switzerland for the US market. Sometimes JLC did so. But I cannot see any reference number inside, so only books or google might help 🙂
