It's more dark olive green
But it can reflect under intense light to look brighter of course.
Natural look is dark olive green.
As I age maybe I am less accurate though. My kids tend to say they see lighter colors when I feel it's darker. Caveat on eyesight here lol
New Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Small Seconds Green
Just tried this at a JLC boutique event in Singapore followed by a small group JLC collectors' dinner. The green is very very nice ! Some quick live pics. I think if paired with a brown, grey or black strap it will look even better ! Green dial with green...
Not yet my friend
Boutiques have priority. The watch is a demo unit. We could only pay deposits not buy yesterday But will be in soon. Stay tuned.
Thanks for posting, Robin.
Great to see a wrist shot. I think you're spot on. I'd love to see it on a tan/brown strap, with beige chinos. I sense it has more of a country squire vibe than a city gent?
Vibe wise yes more country squire
You describe it very well! Most welcome and happy to share my friend
This time I didn't buy during your speech
Which was rather rude of me back in the days lol
You guys in Singapore are so lucky!
I was invited to a JLC dinner and presentation last night but we were only treated to a video with no physical watches present.
Is it a dark olive green, Robin?
Or a chameleon green, depending upon the lighting? The photos on the web vary quite a bit. A.N.

I am with you on that
I didnt get the blue tribute small seconds because I have too many blue dial watches. The burgundy is less easy to match my typical clothes colours. So the olive green it is
You're convincing me now to go ahead...
My wife would kill you if she knew who was behind this 😂😂
Yes I think it will work very well Reuven
Green and black goes very well. I'm thinking of brown but green and brown may end up looking like ..... a tree lol
This just looks wrong.
Sorry in advance if this come across as too strong, but it is from a good place as JLC got me into this hobby years ago and I’ve been hoping for years that their Rip Van Winkle decision makers will finally wake up and realize that their core value proposi...
"Wake up and give us what we're looking for"
I asked JLC for a green dial variant of the Tribute Small Seconds model (via the London Boutique last summer). I do not claim the request to be original with me, and I suspect they were planning this item long before I asked for it, but still it is a watc...

"2021 is an important year for Jaeger-LeCoultre as we celebrate the timeless story of Reverso. Throughout this coming year we have more innovations and surprises coming at La Grande Maison." I take that to suggest that at least some of the surprises yet t...
Thanks, appreciate the perspective and quote.
I am a big fan of the brand and look forward to the new releases. Just been jaded by the ennui induced by their recent efforts.
And I guess we should not forget...
the limited edition Tribute Duoface in Burgundy and Rose Gold (398256J) when discussing the 90th anniversary celebration releases, even if it was officially unveiled at the very end of 2020. Though one could view it as simply a different dial colour varia...
I wouldn’t bet on JLC’s market research prowesses judging by their recent share loss...
...if one goes by the recent Morgan Stanley/LuxConsult report. I am of course a lone voice, but one who supported the brand steadily across the range over the years. Asking them to wake up may not win the argument for me but by them asking repeatedly for ...
Yes the green is well received here in Singapore
Well said. Let's see what else our beloved grand maison releases soon
Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply those who ordered the green watch were dupes.
It is more the audacity of JLC believing that new colors in the same watch every year will continue to impress collectors. The boutique called me about the greenie and I told them I wasn’t looking to complete a Reverso rainbow. Let’s wait and see what the...
No worries buddy I know your intentions were good
As collectors we must always expect more especially from grand maisons like JLC! I was pulling your leg when I said I was a dupe I happen to like the green to complement my blue Rio de Janerio Reverso. Cheers Robin
Thanks for sharing
A nice follow on to the burgundy reverso. Will likely drop by soon to MBS to view in person. Like others, i still winder if there will be more releases in the 1931 tribute style, similar to the London, rouge, bleu, US, rio de janeiro and rama LE. Perhaps ...
Looking forward to the reveal
The teaser seems to reveal another special edition reverso
It's really nice in the metal
The press pics make it look brighter and more vibrant but it looks darker and more mature in the real
Finally saw this in person today
In my opinion, even the official pics dont do justice. It’s mesmerizing to say the least. The green looks closer to olive green ala 5711 patek. Temptation to the max... already long waitlist. Saw the first 3 pieces for delivery, likely someone(s) in this ...
Lol glad you like it !
I know the 3 amigos... always these 3... same 3 in Singapore with the Rio de Janeiro blue reverso :p
