Jaeger LeCoultre Weems 6B/159 an A-11
LeCoultre made 34mm diameter watches for the RAF labelled 6B/159, and for the USAAF labelled A-11. The cases were identical. The 6B/159 case numbers observed are in the range 7155/40 to 8530/40, and about 600 USAAF A-11 watches were made.
The 6B/159 case back read “S. S. & S” for Samuel Smith & Sons, who procured the watches for the Air Ministry. The LeCoultre models have the most dial variations. Blued leaf hands were used, but the dial can have radial numbers, and can be sterile.
The bezel has numbers every 5 minutes, the only 6B/159 watch to do so.
