With the exception of the newly released Reverso?Ultra Thin Tribute to 1931, the Classique is perhaps in many ways the quintessential Reverso: its been in JLCs catalog for many, many years; it can be appreciated by both men and women (the size is a nice in-between that makes it a largish ladies watch but a slim mens dress watch) and is powered by a hand-wound caliber 846.
Its also perhaps the closest thing we have to the original size, too.The bracelet is very flexible and comfortable for all wrist sizes; highly recommended over the strap if you have small wrists.(Fratello Tip: If you have very small wrists like my wife, you can make the extra links into a ring, see below.)
Interestingly, despite the long production run and affordable entry price its one of JLCs cheapest models its not a very common piece on the secondary market.This says two things: one, people buy them to wear and keep, and two, Reverso owners are probably pretty passionate about their watches.I wonder how many have chosen to engrave something on the blank case back?
