Further reading:
During the 1950s and 1960s, the import tax in the U.S. was based on all components of a watch imported. Like other Swiss manufacturers, LeCoultre would bring dismantled parts into the country, like movements, dials, and hands. Once in the United States, each movement was fully assembled and placed in a case manufactured locally. As a result, most Swiss watches sold in the United States have only 17 jewels during this time, even though the European version of the same movement has more.
Each manufacturer marked their movements with a unique U.S. import code to identify a U.S. imported movement. However, Vacheron & Constantin and LeCoultre used the same import code, "VXN."
On this Caliber K 830/CW, the code is engraved on the arm that holds the balance wheel. In addition, the marks "17 jewels" and "unadjusted" are indicated.
