Jaeger-LeCoultre Q389257J Reverso Tribute Chronograph Pink Gold Black Dial Watch

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph Ref. Q389257J – Pink Gold Dual-Time Chronograph in Art Deco Style

Introduction

Launched in 2023, the Reverso Tribute Chronograph Ref. Q389257J revives Jaeger-LeCoultre’s heritage by bringing back a complications-driven wristwatch expertly adapted to the iconic rectangular case. This pink-gold model is a bold, dual-faced chronograph, combining elegant design and impressive mechanical artistry.

Case & Dimensions

The polished 18 k pink-gold case measures 49.4 × 29.9 mm with a slim 11.14 mm profile—maintaining the classic Reverso proportions enhanced with modern refinement. The signature gadroons and swivel mechanism preserve the model’s Art Deco DNA while offering protection and functional beauty.

Front Dial – Elegant & Structured

The main dial features deep black sunray lacquer and Dauphine hands, framed by a “chemin de fer” minute track and applied baton hour markers for precise time display. Its clean, structured aesthetic reflects the Tribute family’s restrained elegance.

Reverse Dial – Bold Mechanics

Flipping the case reveals a refined open-worked display featuring the manual Calibre 860 and an innovative chronograph layout. Central seconds register rhythmically alongside a retrograde 30-minute counter—a watchmaking twist that enables the function to flow naturally within a rectangular setting. Bridges are polished and decorated with Côtes de Genève, topped by visible column-wheel mechanics.

Movement & Chronograph Function

Inside beats the hand-wound Calibre 860, a fully integrated chronograph movement designed specifically for the Reverso case. With column-wheel control, horizontal clutch engagement, 28800 vph, and a 52-hour power reserve, it delivers precision and reliability in a compact format. Its retrograde counter resets in less than a second for visually captivating performance.

Straps & Wearability

The watch Q389257J comes with two Casa Fagliano-designed straps: one in black calfskin leather and another in a matching leather-and-canvas mix. Both feature quick-release systems and fasten with a pink-gold pin buckle, allowing the wearer to switch between formal and casual styles effortlessly.
