Other: This rare 1960s LeJour dive watch checks a lot of boxes - Just take a look at the gorgeous tropical brown dial with large creamy Tritium hour markers. It's crazy to think that this dial was born matte black and has aged so uniquely over the past 50+ years... We recommend pairing this watch with a camel coat or green military jacket, but it wears just as well with a t-shirt and jeans or a swimming suit by the pool. Pro tip: Get it out in the sun where the dial really comes to life! Where else can you get a vintage 38mm diver with straight lugs, a tropical dial, and a killer bezel for under a grand?
