Geophysic 1958 limited edition

Considered as a benchmark for watchmaking in 1958, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic® model can withstand all kinds of tests, whether they be for its anti-magnetic or anti-shock qualities, its water resistance or its chronometric precision.

Readopting the aesthetic codes of the historic 1958 models, these new Geophysic watches are presented in a case with modified dimensions. This round watch with its pure forms encloses a high-performance self-winding calibre.
