It wouldn't be Tuesday without some new additions to the HODINKEE Shop! As always, we've gone ahead and sourced some absolutely killer watches for you – and this includes a handful of watches that are coming from you, private owners! Today we are proud to offer another beautifully aged, 321-powered Omega Speedmaster, a wonderful early Universal Genève Compax with telemetry dial, a stainless-steel triple calendar from Jaeger-LeCoultre, and our personal favorite, a 1960s Rolex Datejust with gilt, glossy dial and a case of white gold! Didn't know they existed? Well now you do, and you can find it in the HODINKEE Shop. 1940s Jaeger-LeCoultre Triple Calendar In Stainless Steel 1 OF 4 When one thinks of the 1940s, one thinks of two things – the triple calendar complication, and the tear-drop lug shape. Seldom do we find a watch that combines both traits so elegantly, with a true in-house haute horlogerie caliber, in a stainless-steel case!

Need help identifying this vintage seamaster
This seamaster was handed down to me by my grandfather- it still works like a charm... All I know about it is that it was gifted to him by my grandmother in the late 50's or early 60's...
