It was back in 2014 that Jaeger-LeCoultre revived the Geophysic watch collection based on some uncommon models produced in the 1950s known for their use of luminant dots on the sapphire crystal. Vestiges of that design exist today, and on the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic True Second replica watches, you can see points of luminant applied on the outer edge of the ring around the watch dial. This adds a special flavor to what is essentially a classic and conservative design.
Still, there is an enormous amount of “wrist appeal” to the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic replica watch with its handsome, legible looks and focus on what makes so many traditional-looking watch dials feel timeless in their relevancy. Jaeger-LeCoultre replica watch matches a lightly textured matte dial with applied brushed gold or steel hour markers and matching hands. In its stately focus on function and purpose, the dial of the Geophysic with its virtual lack of anything superfluous is actually quite elegant.
Jaeger-LeCoultre replica watch calls their new balance wheel “Gyrolab.” The new balance wheel structure was designed to have less metal and thus be more aerodynamic that traditional oscillators. I happen to find the tiny balance screws with their square heads to be particularly cool. Through the sapphire crystal caseback window of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic True Second replica watch, you can view the movement which for both the steel and gold versions of the watch have a solid gold automatic rotor.
On the wrist, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic True Second replica watch is a handsome and medium-sized watch at 39.6mm wide. It doesn’t wear too small thanks to the 11.7mm thickness of the case and the design of the stocky lugs. The case is water resistant to 50 meters and has a very handsome combination of mostly brushed and some polished surfaces. Fit and finishing is very good, and what you’d expect from a Jaeger-LeCoultre replica watch.
