New Reverso release : The steel Tribute Calendar

Jul 29, 2022,05:52 AM
 

To quote JLC:

Created in 1931, the iconic Reverso watch has been enriched with a new stainless steel model featuring two faces as elegant as they are contrasting. In addition to the Duoface concept offering a 2nd time zone, this timepiece equipped with Manufacture Calibre 853 displays a complete calendar. In keeping with the aesthetic codes of the first Reverso models (iconic gadroons, applied hour-markers, Dauphine hands), the grained dial on the front gives way to a new, resolutely contemporary back. On the deep blue sunray dial, the double hour-markers surrounding the minute track form an elegant decoration in which a new Night/Day disc is set. The Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar comes with two easily interchangeable bracelets with a strong vintage character. Designed by the renowned Argentinian bootmaker Casa Fagliano, the full leather and the bi-material straps recall the polo spirit of the Reverso.

Was waiting for it… because the golden iteration was not to my taste…

I have to see it in reality because the dial seems different from the Tribute Moon (Discontinued concomitantly to this launch) in terms of colorimetry : Silvered grey dial versus white dial



I think I prefer the whiter dial of the Tribute Moon which is less dull than the one of this new Tribute Calendar.

Have a nice day.

Best Ø

The watch looks good but...

The proportions are off. They should go back to the grande taille size, or at least reduce it to the dimensions of the current tribute small seconds models at 45mm lug to lug.

I actually tried the tribute calendar a few days ago

You were right, it's wearable, but I'd prefer a smaller one anyways

True !

my 2015 Reverso Calendar wears like a 38mm watch, so for me it works. ...  

Asap.

It is unfortunate that JLC got rid of texture on both dials, and that exquisite finish of the moon.

That's the reason I bought the Tribute Moon. I can't even read the date display since it is so small but I don't care. I guess they are limiting the textured moon display to the more expensive, gold Tribute Calendar now. that's a shame.

Yes indeed
