Jaeger-LeCoultre Q397843J Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds Stainless Steel Green Dial Watch

Jaeger‑LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds Ref. Q397843J – Vibrant Green in Stainless Steel

Introduction

The Jaeger‑LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds Ref. Q397843J blends Art Deco elegance with sporty flair. Debuted in 2021, its stainless steel case frames a shimmering green sunray-brushed dial and a swiveling mechanism that pays homage to the original 1931 polo-inspired design.

Case and Dimensions

The polished stainless steel case measures 45.6 × 27.4 mm and sits just 8.5 mm thick, giving it refined wearability. Signature gadroons and a reversible Art Deco case guard the crystal on one side and a customizable steel rear on the other.

Dial and Hands

Dressed in a deep green sunray-finished lacquer, the dial projects lively reflections as light moves across it. Polished Dauphine hands and applied baton indices contrast sharply with the verdant hue, while a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock adds balanced functionality.

Movement and Performance

Driven by the hand‑wound Calibre 822/2, this timepiece houses 108 components, 19 jewels, and operates at 21,600 vph. At only 2.94 mm thick, the movement is ultra-slim yet offers a reliable 42‑hour power reserve — all while honoring mechanical tradition.

Strap and Comfort

Matching the green dial, a green calfskin leather strap completes the aesthetic. It features quick-release spring bars and fastens with a stainless steel double-folding clasp. The 20 mm lug spacing ensures flexibility for strap swaps.

Reversible Personalization

A defining Reverso feature is its swiveling case. Slide and flip the watch to reveal a blank steel reverse side ideal for engraving or decoration—celebrating its original polo-watch heritage.
