Since its introduction in 1931, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Reverso sports watch has appeared in a range of sizes with a variety of colorful lacquered dials. In 2016, JLC returned to the stylistic codes of the original 1931 Reverso with the Tribute models. After adding variations in Red and Blue, the latest addition to the line completes the primary color lineup with the Reverso Tribute Small Seconds in Green. The intense green tone of the sunray-brushed lacquer dial matches the rich leather strap. Sticking with the Reverso Tribute’s signature design elements, applied indexes rather than numerals mark the hours. Their faceted shape echoes the form of the Dauphine hands. Echoing the sunray brushing of the dial, a sunray pattern on the inside of the cradle is visible when the case is flipped over. The slim Art Deco proportions of the 8.5mm case houses the manually wound mechanical Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 822/2 – a rectangular shaped movement with small seconds designed expressly for the Reverso.
