Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon – Ref. Q1368471
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon Ref. Q1368471 is a stunning embodiment of elegant simplicity and refined horological craftsmanship. With its 39 mm stainless steel case, deep black dial, moon-phase complication, and automatic movement with approximately 70 hours of power reserve, this timepiece is designed for those who appreciate understated luxury and precise mechanical performance.
Case Overall Build
The case is made from polished stainless steel and measures a generous yet refined 39 mm in diameter. At just 9.3 mm thick, it retains the dress-watch elegance expected of the Master Ultra Thin collection. The water resistance is rated at 5 bar / 50 meters, offering protection for everyday wear. The sapphire crystal front offers clear visibility, while its flat dial under the transparent glass adds to the minimalist aesthetic.
Dial Hands — Understated Elegance
The dial is deep black with a flat profile, accentuated by Dauphine hands and baton markers with rhodium plating. This black dial serves as a refined backdrop to the moon-phase display located at 6 o’clock, which also integrates a date indicator. The uncluttered layout offers superb legibility. The black dial is matched with a black alligator leather strap, reinforcing the watch’s elegant monochrome look.
Movement Technical Highlights
Powering Q1368471 is Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 925, an automatic movement that is part of JLC’s newer generation models. It features central seconds, date, moon phase, and delivers a robust 70-hour power reserve. The calibre operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and includes 30 jewels. Movement thickness is approximately 4.9 mm, contributing to the overall slim profile.
Strap, Buckle Comfort
The Q1368471 is supplied with an interchangeable black alligator leather strap, with length ~75 mm on the 12-o’clock side and ~120 mm on the 6-o’clock side. Lug width is 21 mm. The steel double-folding buckle ensures both security and a polished finish. Thanks to its moderate thickness and well-designed lug geometry, the watch is comfortable on many wrist sizes, behaving more like a dress watch with personality.
