Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon 39 mm – Ref. Q1368480
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon Ref. Q1368480 exemplifies refined simplicity and modern elegance. This 39 mm stainless steel timepiece merges the timeless moon-phase complication with a sleek, ultra-thin profile, now refreshed with a new “petroleum” blue sunray dial. Powered by the in-house Calibre 925 automatic movement, this model offers approximately 70 hours of power reserve, making it both beautiful and technically strong.
Case Dimensions
The 39 mm round case is crafted in stainless steel, measuring approximately 9.3 mm thick. The modest water resistance of 5 bar (≈ 50 meters) ensures everyday robustness while retaining a dressy appearance. The sapphire crystal over both front and back protects the dial and offers a window into the fine finishing of the movement. The lugs are curved and proportioned for comfort, blending presence with wearability.
Dial, Hands Aesthetic Highlights
What truly sets Ref. Q1368480 apart is its striking petroleum blue sunray-brushed dial—a rich, modern reinterpretation that elevates the Master Ultra Thin line. Rhodium-plated baton hour markers and dauphine hands provide sharp contrast and clear legibility. At 6 o’clock lies the moon-phase display with an integrated date indicator, completing the dial’s balance without clutter. The simplicity of the markers and hands paired with this deep blue gives it both elegance and visual impact.
Movement Technical Details
Inside the case beats the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 925, an automatic movement that delivers hours, minutes, seconds, date, and moon phase functions. With 245 components and 30 jewels, it beats at 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and provides about 70 hours of power reserve—a strong performance for a moon-phase dress watch. Its movement thickness of ≈ 4.9 mm helps maintain the slim feel of the watch.
Strap, Buckle Comfort
The Q1368480 comes fitted with a black alligator leather strap, which can be swapped thanks to its interchangeable design. Lug width is 21 mm; strap lengths are standard (~75 mm on the 12-o’clock side and ~120 mm on the 6-o’clock side), making for good fit across various wrist sizes. The steel double-folding clasp ensures secure wear and finishes the design with elegance and practicality.
