Jaeger-LeCoultre Q137258J Master Ultra Thin Power Reserve Pink Gold Gradient Blue Dial Watch

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Power Reserve – Ref. Q137258J

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Power Reserve Ref. Q137258J is a sophisticated dress watch that embodies both elegance and upgraded technical performance. Introduced in 2024, this 39 mm 18-carat pink gold model pairs a radiant midnight-blue gradient dial with refined indicators, delivering exceptional clarity and charm. With its ultra-thin profile, visible caseback, and generous 70-hour power reserve, this timepiece is crafted for those who appreciate class, balance, and craftsmanship.

Case & Dimensions

The case is made of 18-carat pink gold, measuring 39.0 mm in diameter with a thickness of approximately 8.95 mm, a slim profile for its function and material. The water resistance is rated at 5 bar (≈ 50 meters), for everyday protection. The lugs are slightly elongated and more elegantly tapered than previous versions. The caseback is sapphire crystal, allowing view of the beautifully finished movement.

Dial & Hands — Gradient Blue Sunray Finish

The dial features a deep midnight-blue sunray brushed gradient that becomes richer towards the edge. Elongated applied hour markers and dauphine hands with a mix of polished and satin finish provide excellent contrast against the blue backdrop. Balance and readability are central: the dial includes an opaline small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock, a date hand subdial on the right, and a power reserve indicator on the left with the “zero” level clearly marked in red—bringing both practicality and visual balance.

Movement — Calibre 938 / 938/1 Upgrades

Inside Q137258J is Jaeger-LeCoultre’s calibre 938 (or updated 938/1), a self-winding movement running at 4 Hz (28,800 vph). It features about 262–300 components, 39 jewels, and delivers a significant 70-hour power reserve—nearly double that of its predecessor. One key upgrade is the use of silicon parts (such as silicon escapement or associated components) and a redesigned mainspring barrel which together reduce friction and improve efficiency. The movement’s architecture is just under 5 mm thick (~4.9 mm), preserving the ultra-thin character of the collection.

Strap & Wearability

Q137258J comes with a navy-blue alligator leather strap, harmonizing beautifully with the gradient blue dial. The lug width is 21 mm, with standard lengths of ~75 mm for the 12 o’clock side and ~120 mm for the 6 o’clock side—designed for comfortable wear across many wrist sizes. The buckle is a matching pink gold pin buckle, adding polish and continuity with the case.
