The Legendary Reverso

A Reverso has two sides, hence its name. The dial on a Reverso is much like a painting because of its rectangular shape. A Reverso is somehow like a book as well, especially when you turn it to see the other side of the watch. It is much like flipping a book’s pages.

The Reverso “Chocolate”

In rose gold, this watch has a grand size of 46.8 x 27.4mm. Thanks to its size, it does not look too small on bigger wrists. The dial has a very strong vintage feeling with its chocolate brown color, arrow-shaped hour markers with aged lume, railway track minute markers and a sub-dial for seconds display. The sword hands are plated with rose gold. Together we see a design which sticks to its ancestors’ in the 1930s. The other side of the case is blank, leaving you space for any engraving.

The Casa Fagliano strap

What is better is that the watch comes with a shell cordovan strap by Casa Fagliano, an Argentinian polo boots maker. The brown shell cordovan strap has special stitching style that complements very well with the striped case.

The movement

Inside this watch is the JLC movement 822/2 which has 45 hours of power reserve. It is manually wound and the winding is very smooth.

On the wrist

On the wrist, this watch is perfect for occasions like formal dinners and business meetings. Because of its size, it is also a good piece to wear when you want something understated yet charming to decorate your wrist on a casual day.

Conclusion

All in all, this watch is a truly amazing piece. It has all the vintage elements a watch lover would like to see. The brown dial is almost like a tropical dial but it is not. The strap is really cool and it completes the vintage puzzle for the watch , as this watch will certainly be downgraded by any other strap .
