Framed by the iconic rectangular case that defined Art Deco watchmaking, this replica reverso white 40mm measures 40mm by 20mm and carries the swiveling case mechanism that made the Reverso one of the most recognized dress watches in existence. The white dial keeps things straightforward: applied hour markers, thin dauphine hands, and a railway-style minute track around the perimeter. The 40mm length sits proportionally on wrists between 16cm and 19cm, while the 20mm width keeps the overall profile narrow enough to slide under a shirt cuff. Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced the reversible case in 1931 to protect the crystal during polo matches, and this version preserves that functional detail in its day-to-day form.

Case & Movement Specs

• Case dimensions: 40mm x 20mm (length x width)
• Case material: stainless steel with polished finish
• Dial color: white with applied indices
• Crystal: scratch-resistant sapphire
• Hands: dauphine style, polished steel
• Movement: automatic
• Functions: hours, minutes, seconds

The polished steel case transitions cleanly from front to back when the swivel mechanism engages. Each pivot point clicks into position without lateral play, which matters because a loose reversal mechanism will eventually mark the case flanks.

Caliber Breakdown

The automatic movement inside this Reverso drives a simple three-hand layout with a center seconds indicator. Time-only calibers suit rectangular cases well because they keep the movement height low, preserving the slim side profile that defines the Reverso silhouette. The white dial gains legibility from the contrast between polished steel hands and the clean background. For a different take on the same form factor, the women’s reversible edition scales the dimensions down while keeping the same dial language. Both sit within the broader Reverso collection, which spans manual-wind dress pieces to dual-timezone complications.

How It Compares

At 40mm this lands in the mid-range of the Reverso family, longer than the Classic Small but shorter than the Tribute Duoface. The white dial and steel case combination is the most versatile option if you want one Reverso that works with both formal and business-casual settings. This replica reverso white 40mm delivers that flexibility in a package that keeps the original’s proportions intact.
