Good looking watch. The caliber 285 is actually made by Universal Genève, not that rare. But you're right the black dial and hinged case is pretty unusual.
If you need a service, we can perform, no problem. We've done many.

Re: LeCoultre Watch, Looking for Background
Hi, it's a "mystery dial" watch from the late 1950s made for the American market. It belongs to a series of watches that are named after celestial things. I think this particular model is called the "Saturn".

Restoring a Jaeger-LeCoultre Mark 11
It is becoming increasingly obvious, that collectors - and I include myself in this group - are preferring original condition watches with original paint dials and unpolished cases. There are however instances, where it is justified to cosmetically restore a watch. My goal here is to provide an exam...

Re: Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox dial with no branded-logo(?)
Hi David,
I'm pretty sure that dial should have some print on it. In fact it's likely to be a European model and branded as a Jaeger-LeCoultre.
When you get it, see if there is any print at all on the dial and let me know,
Thanks,
Zaf
