Jaeger Lecoultre Odysseus.
Another very interesting watch which is 35 years old now ( 1987 ).
This one is in platinum ( 36 mm case ), limited to 250 pieces.
The special feature is that the perpetual calendar can be set through the crown, only.
The first modern perpetual calendar from our beloved brand.
Best,
Nicolas

This is Néo-vintage at its best

This looks like it could have been released last year ! I love it !
Makes you wonder why all perpetual calendar watches are not set through crown only. I know a big part of it is the quick set function but those little dimples on the side case are not attractive, this is a clean watch. Thanks for posting
Very interesting.
Actually the same principle as with the IWC Da Vinci invented by Kurt Klaus. As far as I can remember, the Da Vinci 1st generation was introduced to the market in 1985. Could it be that Klaus' inventions found their way here at JLC? Maybe through a licens...

I love the case & lugs, so detailed...also the crown is cool !
I honestly feel that JLC is missing a good product management team in recent times, they've all technical bricks but lack clarity ? - if I may say so. I didn't know this reference earlier, thanks for sharing ! Best, mahesh.,
