JLC Reverso Tribute

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Small Seconds captures the spirit of the original Reverso with remarkable purity, retaining the Art Deco styling and manually wound character that defined the model from its beginnings in 1931. Its faithful proportions and restrained design have made the Tribute series particularly sought after by Reverso enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate the collection in its most traditional form.

This Reverso Tribute Small Seconds Ref. Q3978480 features a stainless steel reversible case with a rich blue dial, applied baton hour markers and a beautifully balanced small-seconds display at 6 o'clock. The signature gadroons, sapphire crystal and matching blue leather strap reinforce its elegant Art Deco character, while the reverse of the case retains the classic solid surface traditionally associated with personal engraving. Water resistance is rated to 30 metres.

Powering the watch is the Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre 822/2 manual-winding manufacture movement, specifically shaped to suit the Reverso's rectangular case and offering an approximately 42-hour power reserve. Offered with box and card. Circa 2018. A particularly appealing modern Reverso for the enthusiast seeking a watch that remains true to the character and mechanical simplicity of the original.
