The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Date was unveiled at this year’s SIHH, presenting a completely refreshed design compared to the 2013 model. With bold line hour markers and deep blue hands, this watch merges classical elegance with modern style, making it a standout piece in the Master Control series.
Design and Case Features
The 39 mm stainless steel case measures just 8.5 mm thick, giving it a lightweight and ultra-thin feel. The silver dial features a double-circle layout, with a brushed-polished outer ring highlighting the dark hour numerals. Hollow blue hour and minute hands add retro charm while maintaining excellent readability. The date window is neatly positioned at 3 o’clock, integrating functionality with clean aesthetics.
Caliber 899/1 Automatic Movement
The watch is powered by Jaeger-LeCoultre’s in-house Caliber 899/1 automatic movement, consisting of 219 components. The polished base plate and gold skeletonized rotor engraved with the Jaeger-LeCoultre logo highlight the brand’s attention to detail. With a 38-hour power reserve, the movement combines reliability and elegance for daily wear.
Strap and Wearability
The blue alligator leather strap seamlessly integrates with the lugs, offering comfort and a refined aesthetic. Water-resistant up to 50 meters, this watch is suitable for both office wear and casual occasions. Official price is €5,915, available exclusively on the Jaeger-LeCoultre website.
