Key Points from the Discussion

The author's Master Moon is an older 37mm version, found new at an AD after sitting in a drawer for over 15 years, which is considered good luck but not its unique specialty.
The special feature of the author's Master Moon is its German calendar discs, an unusual detail noted by others.
Differences between the Master Moon and Master Calendar include the use of 'Automatique' vs. 'Automatic' on the dial, slight variations in 'Jaeger-LeCoultre' placement, and moon cycle numbering.
Black-dialed stainless steel and red gold Master Moons typically feature red font and numerals, while the platinum model has white font and numerals with a blue background.
The dial color in JLC watches often signifies a special meaning or feature, emphasizing the importance of details.
The Master Moon is praised for its balanced dial and suitability as an everyday watch with an additional complication.

The answer is

NO! Interestingly, I noticed just now, that the watch has a german calender.... To my defence, I opened the box only in Christmas Eve... Many thanks for your compliment, dear Nicolas!

One of the prettiest JLC's IMO

So balanced dial. Personally I woulden't hesitate to wear this watch as an "every-day" time-teller with the bonus of an attitoonal complication added. Verynice images too! All the best, Bent

A beautiful, “old-school” watch. Much better in your 37mm version in my opinion. If I had to wear one watch for the rest of my life, I think it would be this one. What is novel about it, though? I can’t tell. [nt]
