The Jaeger-LeCoultre Albatros is a remarkable timepiece from the 1980s, reflecting a period when the watch industry was navigating the challenges and innovations of the quartz crisis. This model harmoniously blends sporty design elements with the luxury craftsmanship that Jaeger-LeCoultre is renowned for. The Albatros features a robust steel case and a distinctive dual-color bracelet, embodying the era's aesthetic preferences.
This piece is powered by a quartz movement, a choice that underscores the era's emphasis on precision and reliability. The use of a sapphire crystal further exemplifies the brand's commitment to quality and durability during this transitional period. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Albatros is particularly intriguing to collectors who appreciate the unique fusion of sporty and luxurious design cues from the 1980s.
Produced in limited quantities, the Albatros is less commonly found compared to other lines, making it a rare find for vintage watch enthusiasts. Its reference number, 146.306.8, suggests low production volumes, adding to its collector appeal. The estimated production date in the 1980s has been verified from internal movement serial tables, providing further assurance of its historical context and significance.

Omega 43 Years Old Vintage Omega Equinoxe Reverso /Ref. 1860013 / Cal. 1655 / Vintage 1981
From start to finish the transaction was straight forward and smooth. The watch arrived well packed and in the exact condition described. I only recently became interested in "vintage" watches and EVW is a great resource for quality pieces. I already purchased a second and when I find something I like I will gladly purchase again. Thank you Lukasz.
I absolutely love the gorgeous vintage watch I bought from EVW! It’s amazing to be able to wear a watch that is 119 years old. I often wonder what life was like for the original owner in 1906. The watch was delivered very quickly by DHL and was packaged well. A great buying experience!
63 Years Old Vintage Omega Gold plated / Ref. 14395 61 SC / Cal. 285 (30T2) / Vintage 1961
I am so happy with this purchase! Communication was super easy with EVW and they negotiated on price. Upon receiving the watch, I was simply stunned. The condition of restoration is incredible. The gold case is flawless, the case back is perfect, and the dial has only 1 small imperfection (pictured in listing, expected). For a watch from 1982, this is amazing. The Caliber 1110 movement is working very smoothly. The quick-set date is great, and the power reserve is too.
EVW always has an incredible selection of amazing vintage pieces at fair prices with super fast and reliable shipping.
