At the request of Nico, here are some photos of an underappreciated and neglected Reverso...
the Squadra line was polarizing for most due to the case shape and size. Indeed, it was a far cry from the rectangular shape of the classic Reverso. The imposable size and square shape also made it wear larger. Regardless, the Squadra Hometime and Worldtime were and still are great watches. The later is super cool IMHO. The recto side was an uber cool chronograph while the verso showed a world time indicator.
Sadly, I have not worn it in over 2 years 🤷♂️🤦♂️
What do you guys think of this model?
I long time thought about this Squadra WT.
I was totally mad about the verso dial and its world time disc. Much less fan of the recto. The other problem is the case dimensions... Too thick, too square. More rectangular and a tad thinner, in a slightly smaller case, that would have been the top.
As for the recto dial, the issue is the sub dial at 6 o clock, with its white and red indicator. It spoils the dial, a bit.
To sum my thoughts, a very interesting concept, but which lacked something to be irresistible.
Best, Justin, and thanks for this post!

I agree about the square shape and larger size although I could still wear it...
as for the recto side, I actually like the red and white counter as it is a rotating disc that shows the constant seconds indicator. Without it, there is no constant seconds showing on the watch so if someone wanted to see a seconds hand moving, they would have to activate the chronograph.
This disc is the same type found on the Extreme World Chronograph Worldtime.

I know all these features, and believe me, I try to sell the watch to myself many times, as I adore the concept! [nt]

Maybe JLC will come out with a Reverso in the future with similar features 🤔🤷♂️ [nt]

I like ALL Reverso watches, but the Squadra doesn't work on my small wrist.
I'll take the rectangular Reverso on my wrist.
I really like the "GRANDE GMT" Reverso but unfortunately that one is too big for my wrist actually... So I'm restricted to the "Grand Taille" size which is smaller than the Grande GMT.
I also have the Reverso Grande Sun/Moon and Grande GMT which both wear large, but smaller than the Squadra...
I also have a small wrist Patrick, around 6 1/2 - 6 5/8" depending on the climate and humidity. I guess it depends more on the shape as well since my wrist is more flat (oval) than round. If you wrist is around 6 1/2" or bigger, I think you could pull it off without a problem.
I'll have to give them a try again someday!
I think my wrist is about the same as yours or smaller, possibly half an inch smaller. But I'll have to give the Grande GMT a try again sometime. The Grand Taille cased Reversos fits perfectly (and generously) and I find that it's difficult for my wrist to accommodate a watch significantly larger.
I do agree the Grande Taille size fits amazingly. The Tributes are slightly larger than the Grande Taille size but they also fit great as well 🤷♂️👍 [nt]

I think the black bracelet on that Squadra
is just plain gross, nice watch thought, always did like it.
LOL, the black rubber and titanium bracelet makes it more sporty which I prefer but you could always wear it on an alligator, calf, or rubber strap 😜 🤷♂️ [nt]

My wrist couldn't handle it, but I like the idea of a WT that is visible on demand. [nt]

I think it looks great on your wrist and definitely not too big. Actually, the rubber strap and rubber and titanium bracelet make it wear smaller and more comfortable than the stiff gator 😜 [nt]

Trust me, it is exponentially more comfortable on the rubber strap or bracelet [nt]

Yes, I have a friend with this model. I really like the transparent worldtime disc 😁👍. And here you habe the articulated rubber and titanium bracelet 👍 [nt]

Yes, super comfortable and su0er practical with the quick release adjustment on both ends of the deployant buckle, like having 2 Rolex easy link features 😉👍 [nt]

Way too thick for my liking but I certainly appreciate what they packed into that small package [nt]

Agreed on the thickness Tony but honestly, it really did not bother me much and once on the wrist for a bit, you forget about it 🤷♂️ [nt]

I know what you mean, actually I have a pretty flat wrist and it would probably sit pretty good [nt]
No message body
I'm pretty sure it would Tony, especially since you have a larger wrist than I do as well so if I could pull it off, there is no doubt you could as well 😉 [nt]
