Can I keep with the Grateful Dead theme and call mine Bertha?

Neo-vintage Master Date ; )

 

Here’s mine, purchased this weekend..

 

Something modern(ish) pieces. First up, my Master Compressor Memovox on stringray (Aaron Bespoke):



And my Master Compressor Chronograph:

 

And a couple from last century (and last Millennium for that matter).

1967 18k gold JLC ref 21007:



This 1950's 14k LeCoultre Memovox:



...and my ATMOS clock:

 

That’s an early one based on the dial text!

 

absolutely love the gold reverso sun and moon phase. one day...

 

Supposed to be circa 2004.

 

Nice watch! Love those Deep Sea Alarms.

 

That would be right - the Master Compressor line came out in 2002 (remember it well and it was a polarizing design at the time), and the first versions of this watch had "Memovox Automatique" on the dial, where the later versions just have "Memovox" on the dial. I can't say the exact transition date, but I bought mine back in 2007 and it just has Memovox on the dial...

Lume shot...

 

Mine is also an early execution, with "automatique" added on the dial. Sold approx. 2006 I believe.
It also features cal. 918 (no quick-set on the date), as opposed to the newer versions, equipped with the updated cal. 956.

Not sure if the upgraded movement corresponds to the shorter text on the dial.

Recent photo:

 

No it doesn't correspond - I have the short text and mine has a Cal. 918 as well:





Although these don't have a quick set date, you can advance the date by going back and forth past midnight, so still not as bad as a Cal. 1575 Rolex to set the date!

 

Cool! Thanks for the history and clarification. Good to know.

 

JLC !!! Here are mine ...
