Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Date with Blue-Grey Dial
Jaeger-LeCoultre presents a new model in its Master Ultra Thin collection. Inspired by the brand’s history of ultra-thin timepieces, this line embodies modern elegance and technical expertise. The latest addition, Reference Q1238480, features a steel case and a striking blue-grey dial, showcasing Jaeger-LeCoultre’s commitment to innovation while maintaining classic aesthetics.
Case
The case of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Date Q1238480 is made of stainless steel, emphasising durability alongside its aesthetic appeal. With a diameter of 39 mm and a height of 7.8 mm, the watch maintains a slender profile that enhances its elegant appearance. It also offers a water resistance of up to 5 bar (50 metres), providing adequate protection against water damage. The sapphire crystal on both the front and back ensures a clear view of the dial and the movement inside.
Dial
The dial of the Master Ultra Thin Date in steel introduces a new blue-grey hue that adds a contemporary touch to the otherwise classic design. This sunray-finished dial not only catches the eye but also ensures excellent legibility. The elongated trapezoidal hour markers and Dauphine hands, with their satin-brushed and polished facets, create a play of light that enhances readability. The date indication at 6 o’clock is a functional yet discreet element that complements the dial’s symmetry.
Movement
Powering the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Date Q1238480 is the automatic Calibre 899. This movement exemplifies the brand’s dedication to quality and precision, having undergone rigorous testing through the ‘1000 Hours Control’ programme. Decorated with Côtes de Genève, bevelled edges, and blued screws, it is as pleasing to the eye as it is reliable. The Calibre 899 offers a mediocre power reserve of 38 hours and operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz).
Strap
The watch comes with a black alligator leather strap that adds a touch of luxury to the timepiece. However, the highlight is the folding clasp that allows for easy interchangeability. Not only the strap but also the clasp can now be swapped without the use of tools. This feature not only offers added convenience but also enables wearers to personalise their watch according to their style or occasion.
Price and Availability of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Date Q1238480
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Date Q1238480 is available now. The price for this timepiece is 10,300 euros.
