Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Q1548530

The case measures 40mm across and 8.5mm thick. Case material: Stainless steel. Case size alone is a poor guide to how a watch wears; lug-to-lug length and how the bracelet drops off the case matter more, which is why we suggest trying one on before you commit.

Automatic, in-house JLC Cal. 899/1. Power reserve is 38 hours. It beats at 28,800 vph. The movement uses 32 jewels.

It is rated to 50 meters, about 164 feet. That covers brief swimming. It is not a dive watch. One caution that applies to every watch on this page: a water resistance figure describes a new watch with fresh gaskets. On a piece that is years past its last service, treat the rating as unknown until it has been pressure tested.

Jaeger-LeCoultre produced this reference from 2020 to the present day. Production years matter when you are valuing one, because dial, bezel and bracelet details often changed inside a single reference run.
