Lot Essay

The LeCoultre DeepSea Alarm model was produced in the late 1950's into the early 1960's, and less than 1000 examples were made. In Europe, these watches were sold under the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand, but in the United States, they were sold only under LeCoultre. At the time this model was launched, only a few other diving watches were being produced, most notably the Rolex Submariner and the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms.
