FAQ

What is the lug width of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso 2608130?

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso 2608130 is fitted with a 20 mm lug width. To verify this on your own watch, simply measure with a digital caliper the internal distance between the two lugs at the point where the strap inserts into the case.

What is the best strap for the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso 2608130?

For the Reverso 2608130, a black smooth calf leather strap or alligator with smooth belly represents the most coherent choice with the Art Deco aesthetic of the case. A custom-made strap with shaped terminals for the Reverso's short lugs ensures the best visual presentation and a perfect fit without play.

How do you change the strap on the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso 2608130?

Changing the strap on the Reverso 2608130 requires the use of a fine-tipped spring bar tool, inserted carefully into the spring bar seat to avoid scratches on the case. Given the particular geometry of the Reverso's short lugs, it is recommended to entrust the operation to a watchmaker or contact the Casati Milano atelier for assisted strap changing.

How long does a leather strap last on the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso 2608130?

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the tanning, daily use, and maintenance. A high-quality calf leather strap lasts on average 18-24 months with regular use; a well-treated alligator strap can exceed 3-4 years.
