Jaeger LeCoultre GSTP WWII British Military Issued Pocket Watch

Jaeger LeCoultre GSTP pocket with movement cal. 467 produced in house by Jaeger LeCoultre from 1939 through 1945.

G.S.T.P. stands for General Services Trade Pattern. These G.S.T.P. watches purchased by the British government for the armed forces and since watches in those days were not mass produced, many manufacturers were issued contracts to build G.S.T.P. watches. They were made to specific design criteria and military grade standard as requested by the MOD. As a result, all of the G.S.T.P. watches are similar looking to each other despite them being made by different manufacturers. Some of the manufacturers were quality producers such as the Jaeger LeCoultre, as well as Omega and Rolex. These brands have become desirable collectors items
