Press release
For the early Reverso collector the red lacquered dial remains the most elusive and collected model. At the thematic Reverso sale held by Antiquorum in May last year, the red dial example set at the time the record for the most expensive vintage Reverso to be sold at auction, bringing CHF 35'000 (lot 225). 
As a key player during this era, Jaeger-LeCoultre devoted its innovative spirit to the field of accurate round automatic watches equipped with useful functions and which were both ergonomic and able to stand up to all kind of trials. Geophysic watches were given to the crew of the US Nautilus, the first nuclear powered submarine who did a trip to the North Pole in 1958.
This watch was made to be anti-magnetic to 600 Gauss to combat the effect of magnetic fields that could disturb the timekeeping qualities of the watch.
