When Jaeger-LeCoultre first introduced the Duomètre Unique Travel Time in 2012, it came in platinum, limited to only 100 pieces, and was exclusively available at the brand’s Paris boutique. In its latest evolution, Jaeger-LeCoultre has released the rose gold version, now as a regular production model, signaling the maturity of the Calibre 383 “Dual-Wing” movement — both in craftsmanship and production capability.

As its name suggests, the Duomètre Unique Travel Time is designed with travel and world time functionality at its core. The 3 o’clock subdial displays local time, the 9 o’clock subdial shows a second time zone, and the 6 o’clock display indicates global time (GMT) with a day/night indicator.

The second time zone utilizes a jump-hour window paired with a minute hand, making this the first world-time wristwatch capable of minute-precise adjustment for the second time zone — a truly practical innovation for frequent travelers.

Inside beats the Calibre 383, which features two independent barrels, each providing 50 hours of power reserve to its respective time zone, while sharing a single escapement and regulating system. The movement beats at 28,800 vph, ensuring stability and precision.

At 9 o’clock, the dual GMT pushers allow for intuitive switching between GMT+1 and GMT-1, offering far greater convenience than the usual single-pusher design.
