LeCOULTRE Shark Deep Sea / Vogue Chronograph ref.E2643 cal. Valjoux 72

Ref.E2643, the Shark Deep Sea / Vogue.

Born in the late 1960s.

It was sold in the United States as the Shark Deep Sea and in Europe as the Vogue Chronograph.

North American examples carry the brand name "LE COULTRE" on the dial, which speaks for that historical background.

Outstanding beauty of form, and condition.

A tachymeter printed around the outside of the indexes.

A rotating bezel with 60-minute (or seconds) markings in baked enamel.

Not merely design: details in which legibility and function are fused, taking the watch to a high level of completeness.

What beats inside is the celebrated Cal. Valjoux 72 movement.

Among the many chronograph movements, it stood out and was called the summit for accuracy and durability.

A distinguished brand fitting the Valjoux 72 means something.

That Jaeger-LeCoultre chose and assembled a movement already famous for its accuracy took this watch beyond the frame of a chronograph and made it a piece handed down across the decades.

A watch that fairly deserves to be called a fine machine.
