Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Gran'Sport White Dial (ca. 2005, Ref. 290.8.60) – original crystal

Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Gran'Sport Automatic – White Dial, circa 2005

The Reverso Gran'Sport Automatic, reference 290.8.60, dates from around 2005 and combines the Reverso's swivel case with a 27 mm steel case. The white dial gives it a clear, calm presence. The original sapphire crystal is still fitted.

Case, bracelet and movement

The steel case has been polished to a high shine, as have the high-polish surfaces of the bracelet. The satin-finished sections of the bracelet have been freshly brushed, so that the contrast between polished and matte surfaces is crisp again. The bracelet measures 19 cm in length. The swivel function, the defining feature of the Reverso, works flawlessly.

Inside is the automatic calibre 960R. The watch has been professionally cleaned and checked. On the timing machine it shows a rate deviation of -6 s/d and an amplitude of 214°, and the power reserve is 44 hours. These are solid figures for a watch of this generation.
