The Master Ultra Thin Date by Jaeger-LeCoultre gets a modern makeover with a new blue-grey dial, that combines technical prowess with sleek design.
The Master Ultra Thin collection, inspired by Jaeger-LeCoultre’s long history of creating ultra-thin watches since the early 1900s, has always been a showcase of modern dress watches. With its clean lines, polished surfaces and gently curving lugs, this watch’s aesthetic is a testament to the maison’s approach to understated elegance. The minimalist design reflects the ethos of simplicity and refinement, making it the ideal choice for the modern wearer. Its slim profile, at just 7.8mm thick, not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also reinforces the legacy of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s continuous innovation in watchmaking.
One of the most notable features of this latest edition is its new dial colour. The blue-grey gradient dial offers a striking yet subtle update to the evergreen timepiece. The sunray finish plays beautifully with light, creating different visual effects depending on the angle. Anchoring the dial’s balanced design is the date window at six o’clock, which integrates seamlessly with the elongated trapezoid indexes and the Dauphine hands. The hands, polished on one side and satin-brushed on the other, reflect light differently, adding a layer of visual depth to the otherwise minimalist dial.
Beyond its design, it is a marvel of technical achievement. Powered by the automatic Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 899, the watch offers a reliable 38-hour power reserve, ensuring precision and dependability. The movement, visible through the transparent sapphire case-back, is adorned with fine decorative finishes that are a hallmark of the brand’s watchmaking expertise. Côtes de Genève striping, blued screws and bevelled edges add to the allure, allowing enthusiasts to appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into each piece.
This model also stands out for its robustness. Like all Jaeger-LeCoultre timepieces, it undergoes the maison’s stringent 1,000-hour testing protocol. This in-house certification process goes well beyond industry standards, ensuring the timepiece meets the highest levels of precision and durability.
The watch comes with a black alligator strap, which complements the cool tones of the steel case and blue-grey dial. Its folding buckle is easily interchangeable, giving the wearer the freedom to switch straps and adapt the watch to different occasions or styles, further enhancing its versatility. In terms of practicality, the Master Ultra Thin Date offers water resistance up to five bar (approximately 50 metres), making it suitable for everyday wear, while maintaining a sophisticated edge. Its 39mm case diameter is ideal for those who prefer a more classic-sized watch that sits comfortably on the wrist without being too imposing.
