Jaeger-LeCoultre refreshes the Master Ultra Thin Date with a finely grained copper-toned dial that brings unexpected warmth to its classical stainless-steel architecture. The interplay between the cool polished case and the dial’s soft, shifting colors gives the model a renewed presence. Modern, elegant, and unmistakably rooted in the Maison’s long history of ultra-thin watchmaking.
At 39mm, the Master Ultra Thin Date stays true to the line’s philosophy: clean lines, long lugs, and a dial layout that prizes clarity. The trapezoidal hour markers echo the sharp geometry of the Dauphine hands, whose satin and polished facets catch light like blades. The date display at 6 o’clock is framed by a crisp white disk, ensuring immediate legibility without disturbing the dial’s symmetry. Paired with a new brown alligator strap and quick-change system, it’s a watch built for daily refinement.
Inside beats the latest evolution of the in-house Calibre 899, a self-winding movement known for its slim profile and reliability. Updated for improved performance and now offering a 70-hour power reserve, it reveals Geneva stripes, beveled edges and a skeletonised 22-carat pink-gold rotor through the sapphire back. As with every new Jaeger-LeCoultre, it endures the Maison’s demanding 1,000-Hour Control.
