Master Ultra Thin Date

Continuing Jaeger-LeCoultre’s legacy of ultra-thin watches, which began more than a century ago, in the early 1900s, the Master Ultra Thin was conceived as the quintessential expression of contemporary elegance with its clean lines, polished surfaces and long, curving lugs. This latest iteration, the Master Ultra Thin Date, is fitted with Calibre 899 which has a thickness of 4.64 millimetres. Housed inside a 7.8mm-high steel case, it provides 38 hours of power reserve. The Master Ultra Thin Date has passed the brand’s 1,000 hours testing protocol which, says Jaeger-LeCoultre, far exceeds the requirements of official chronometry tests. The dial, in a specially developed blue-grey shade, shows the date in an aperture at 6 o’clock. Worn on an alligator strap, this watch is water-resistant to 50 metres.
