Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this watch, the Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC Master Ultra Thin Date, the original order version.
I started by checking out what was available on the official Jaeger-LeCoultre website. They’ve got a whole section on their Master Ultra Thin watches. It’s all about the fine watchmaking and craftsmanship. I read through it, but honestly, it’s a bit too fancy for my taste. I just wanted to get a feel for the watch, not get lost in the details.
Next, I searched around to see if anyone else had been playing with this watch, especially the original order version. Turns out, this model has been out for like five years now! But there were some forums and posts about the perpetual calendar version, which is a bit different, but still helped.
Then I started digging into the specifics of this particular watch. It’s got a steel case, 39mm across and just 7.8mm thick. Pretty sleek, I gotta say. The website mentions it’s got a strong personality for “adventurers of today.” I don’t know about all that, but it definitely looks classy.
- Case: Steel
- Diameter: 39 mm
- Thickness: 7.8 mm
So, I got my hands on one. I really began playing with it. It’s wild. Feels great on the wrist, not too heavy, not too light. The date function is easy to use, just a simple turn of the crown. The dial is super clean and easy to read. I also spent a lot of time online, browsing through marketplaces, local classifieds, and just general stuff to see what people were saying about it, and where I could maybe find one for a good deal. Even looked at some live webcams of some city just to kill time while I was at it.
Anyway, after all that, I finally got the watch, and It’s a real eye-catcher. I wear it all the time now. I think I made a pretty good choice going with the original order version. It’s got that classic vibe that I really like.
Overall, it was a bit of a journey to get here, but I’m happy with the result. This Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC Master Ultra Thin Date is definitely a keeper.
