Dating back to the late 1960s, Jaeger LeCoultre introduced a versatile and unusual diving chronograph, reference E2643. The model has a duo identity, the “Shark Deep Sea” for the U.S market, and the “Vogue Chronograph” for the European. Manufactured in very limited numbers, the reference came with a selection of three black aluminium bezels—the world time, the 60-minute counter, and the telemeter bezel—perfect for jetsetters.

The present example was produced for the American market distinguished by the LeCoultre sign rather than Jaeger-LeCoultre. The Shark is powered by one of the most celebrated and finest movements of all time, the valjoux 72, the very same calibre housed in iconic manual wind chronographs such as the Rolex Daytona, Heuer Autavia and Breitling Navitimer.

Delivered with the Extract from the Archives confirming its production in 1969 and enhanced by its original presentation box and accessories, the present example is remarkably well-preserved and boost great legibility and functionality. Attractive with vintage appeal, this is an exceptional and rare timepieces for the aficionado.
