Vintage Jaeger Chronograph 3-register 34.5mm Universal Geneve Cal 285 - 1940's. Up for auction is a little jaeger 3-register chronograph in stainless steel. 34.5mm. The watch has a cal 285 movement in it which is made by universal geneve. This is the same movement that runs the uni-compax. Jaeger is known for their reversos but they have produced some very nice chronographs that are less known. This chronograph is rare with 3 register. Unfortunately the di...al is refinished and instead of saying jaeger only...it is refinished jaeger lecoultre. Also these cases were made with fixed lug studs that require a spring loaded pin tube. This watch has 1 tube that is operational and one that is not. The strap is on there now but i dont trust it to use during activity. I suggest buying new tubes and a new strap as this strap is missing one strap stay. The watch runs well, winds nicely and keeps time. Service is recomended to keep the watch running in the future. At 34.5mm this is on the smallest end of the spectrum for mechanical mens chronographs. Its about the size of a Rolex airking diameter wise but the airking has beefier lugs. So this watch would only be suitable for someone who likes small watches. If you can find a dial for this watch you will have something special very rare. Also people use this movement as replacements for vintage vacheron & constintin as universal made movements for both jaeger and vacheron during this time period. So if you have a vintage vacheron that is broken this movement might be useful. $1 and no reserve. Please check out my other auctions for more $1 and no reserve watches and parts.
