As you can see, the three new dial options are Electric Blue, Military Marble, and Tiger’s Eye. But before we talk more about the new dial options let’s recap the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Big Duo Little Second watch. It comes in a stainless steel case and steps 47mm by 28.3mm and is 10.3mm thick, so it’s very modestly sized. It’s two faces – hence the Duo title – driven with a single movement, letting it display time in 2 time zones. Water-resistance is 30 meters.The movement inside is the hand-wound JLC Calibre 854A/2, which is a somewhat straightforward movement that beats in 3Hz and is produced out of 160 parts with 19 jewels. Power book is a standard-range 40 hours.The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Large Duo Little Second watch comes with two dials that the wearer can flip between with all the eye still on the wrist (in case you are unfamiliar with all the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso theory). The main watch dial is in silver and features a vertical brushed finish and a hands guilloche centre with a small seconds index at 6 o’clock. All in all, like many other Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso watches, the main dial of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Large Duo Small Second oozes lots of Art Deco cool and elegance.If you flip the situation around, you will be greeted by the next Traveling Time dial. On the regular Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Big Duo Small Secondly watch, this dial includes Clous de Paris engraving and a handy day/night indicator. But now, there are 3 new dial options comprising exotic stones. Let us get into these 3 brand new dial options at the moment.
