Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar Ref. Q3918420 – Dual-Time Elegance with Full Calendar
Introduction
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar Ref. Q3918420 is a modern interpretation of the iconic 1931 Reverso, melding Art Deco sophistication with advanced watchmaking. Crafted in stainless steel and released in 2022–2023, it combines dual-time functionality and a complete calendar within a reversible case, embodying both heritage and practicality.
Case Size
Encased in polished stainless steel, the watch Q3918420 measures 49.4 × 29.9 mm with a slender profile of approximately 10.9 mm. The classic gadroon bezel and swivel mechanism honor the Reverso lineage, allowing easy switching between two distinct dials. Water resistance up to 30 meters ensures everyday wearability.
Front Dial – Classic Calendar Display
The front dial features a silvery-gray grained finish with applied Dauphine hands, classic stick hour markers, and a chemin de fer minute track. It offers a full calendar display including day, date, month, and moon phase at 6 o’clock, all powered by the in‑house Calibre 853. This dial reflects timeless elegance and structured clarity.
Reverse Dial – Dual Time with Day/Night
Inside the swivel case lies a stunning deep-blue sunray-finished dial, displaying a second time zone alongside a day/night indicator. Bold double hour markers encircle the minute track, providing an intuitive second-time-zone display. This modern and functional reverse complements the classic front.
Movement Technical Excellence
Driving this watch is the manual-winding Calibre 853, a rare rectangular movement created entirely in-house. Comprising 223 components, 19 jewels, and operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, it delivers approximately 42 hours of power reserve. The calibre integrates a complete calendar (day, date, month, moon phase) with the Duoface dual-time mechanism—an impressive fusion of complications in a thin, rectangular format.
Straps Comfort
Echoing the Reverso’s elegant origins, this timepiece includes two Casa Fagliano-designed straps—one rich blue alligator and one bi-material leather-canvas duo. Each strap fastens with a stainless steel folding clasp and supports quick-release spring bars, offering effortless style changes from casual to formal.
