Vintage LeCoultre insights?

Hi everyone! I got this watch from my dad, who’s father in law gave it to him upon engagement to my mom sometime in the 1950-1960s.

Is this related to Jaegre event though it doesn’t say so? Any sense of age? I’d appreciate any insights into the watch!

Thanks all! And thank you to all the service men and women!

Yes, its a JLC assembled in USA to avoid import tariffes, the dial is often referred to a ”mystery dial”. Cool watch

Probably made in the fifties, possibly early 60's. So matches when you think he got it.
I am guessing that is a white gold case since they used diamond markers.
