Jaeger-LeCoultre Q398847J Reverso Tribute Duoface Small Seconds Stainless Steel Black Dial Watch

Jaeger‑LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface Small Seconds Ref. Q398847J – Twin-Time Elegance in Stainless Steel

Introduction

The Jaeger‑LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface Small Seconds Ref. Q398847J celebrates the iconic 1931 Reverso design with refined dual-time sophistication. Launched in 2025, this stainless steel marvel merges handsome Art Deco lines with practical functionality—perfect for the modern gentleman or frequent traveler.

Case & Size

Crafted in polished stainless steel, the rectangular case measures 47 × 28.3 mm with a slim 10.34 mm thickness—ideal for both elegance and comfort. The classic galbe, fluted Art Deco case, and flipping mechanism preserve Reverso heritage.

Front Dial – Black Sunray Finish

The front dial shines in deep black sunray lacquer, achieved through multiple layers that radiate under light. It features polished Dauphine hands, applied baton indices, and a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock. A silver-rail minute track adds contrast without muddling the sleek aesthetic.

Reverse Dial – Silver Sunray & 24‑Hour Indicator

Flip the case to reveal a refined silver sunray reverse dial, complete with second-time‑zone hands and a 24‑hour day/night indicator at 6 o’clock. This practical travel display remains clean and intuitive.

Movement & Performance

Inside is the hand-wound Calibre 854, a high-performance rectangular movement with 160 components, 19 jewels, and a 42‑hour power reserve. Developing in-house, it beats at 21,600 vph and elegantly drives dual-face dials through a single movement. It also incorporates a concealed pusher to adjust the second time zone—clever and discreet.

Straps & Wearability

The watch is accompanied by two Casa Fagliano straps: one black calfskin leather, and another black calf-leather with grey canvas. Both are secured with an interchangeable double-folding stainless-steel clasp, allowing easy style swaps for different occasions.
