Jaeger-LeCoultre Q389256J Reverso Tribute Chronograph Pink Gold Dial Watch

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph Ref. Q389256J – Full Pink-Gold Chronograph with Duoface Design

Introduction

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph Ref. Q389256J pays tribute to the Maison’s Art Deco roots with a modern horological twist. Introduced in 2023 as a limited edition of 250 pieces, this full pink-gold timepiece features a dual-dial presentation with a chronograph complication, combining technical mastery with luxury elegance.

Case and Dimensions

The watch features an 18-carat pink gold case measuring 49.4 × 29.9 mm with a refined thickness of 11.14 mm. True to the Reverso heritage, the rectangular case showcases signature gadroons and polished finishing, while the reversible mechanism provides functionality and aesthetic duality in one.

Front Dial – Golden Elegance

The main dial is crafted from solid pink gold, laser-engraved with fine horizontal lines that play with light and shadow. It features applied trapezoidal markers, Dauphine-style hands, and a crisp chemin de fer minute track, creating a subtle contrast and timeless appeal.

Reverse Dial – Skeletonized Chronograph

On the reverse side, the dial opens to reveal a skeletonized chronograph layout. Pink gold bridges with Geneva stripes and hand-beveled edges frame the retrograde 30-minute counter and central chronograph seconds. Blue screws and black subdials enhance legibility and visual intrigue, underscoring Jaeger-LeCoultre’s finishing expertise.

Movement and Performance

Powering the Reverso Tribute Chronograph is the manually wound Calibre 860, developed and manufactured in-house. This rectangular movement features an integrated chronograph with a column wheel and horizontal clutch, beats at 28800 vibrations per hour, and delivers a 52-hour power reserve. It was designed specifically for the compact dimensions of the Reverso case, ensuring both precision and elegance.

Straps and Customization

The watch is delivered with two interchangeable straps: a tan Casa Fagliano calfskin strap for a sporty feel, and a black alligator strap for a formal finish. Both attach using a quick-change system and are secured with an 18-carat pink gold pin buckle.
