The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra World Chronograph watch is a unique timepiece for globetrotters or anyone who requires knowledge of multiple time zones. Based upon the iconic rectangular Reverso case, this eagerly awaited Jaeger-LeCoultre watch utilizes the more square shape which distinguishes the Squadra from its more classic siblings. Crafted from titanium, and equipped with a smart black dial, the impression made by the Reverso Squadra World Chronograph watch is a decidedly sporty one, despite its heritage of elegance.
Jaeger-LeCoultre's iconic Reverso watch is famous for its unique case, whose design permits it to be swiveled around, effectively allowing the watch two personalities. This aspect has particular significance in the case of the Reverso Squadra World Chronograph timepiece; on the front, the watch has a chronograph function, which is equipped with 12-hour and 30-minute counters, a large date display, and a day/night indicator. By reversing the case, this watch's equally significant alter ego is revealed--a circular display which indicates the reference cities, and a corresponding 24-hour ring which permits the quick reading of times across the globe.
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra World Chronograph watch derives its fine mechanical abilities from its excellent selfwinding movement. Designed and produced by Jaeger-LeCoultre, the Caliber 753 has 366 individual parts, 44 jewels, and a power reserve of approximately 65 hours when fully wound. In addition to its fine technical attributes, this movement has been finely finished with traditional decorations, inluding Cotes de Geneve on the top surfaces of the bridges and rotor, and perlage on the plates. The timepiece is equipped with a crocodile strap and a deployant clasp, or a unique and very sporty articulated rubber bracelet.
