WATCH REVIEW COMMENTS

Mechanical movement,calibre 929/3,adjusted & tested in 6 positions,power reserve 38 hours,38 jewels,28,800 vph,1,000 hours tested.217 parts more complex than the master perpetual.Finishing is first class.This I really have to give it to JLC.

Stainless steel case highly polished shines like a mirror! 42mm in diameter sapphire crystal,2 crowns one at 3 o'clock to adjust time,winding & adjusting second time zone.One at 10 o'clock to switch to whichever timezone required.Water resistance to 50m.Displayed back.
Dial and Hands:
Black dial with power reserve meter at 10 o'clock position. Date indicator meter at 2'o clock,second time zone & day/night indicator at 6 o'clock.Although the dial & hands are simply beautiful !
Accuracy
4 seconds a week very impressive indeed!
Strap, Buckle or Bracelet
Hand stitched croco-strap with JLC deployment buckle,I felt that the strap is a bit thin it should be more padded.
User Manual and Packaging
POSH!Blue inner box & outer box,but not important to me at all.
Comfort
Due to the deployment buckle it sits nicely on the wrist !
Value :
JLC watches are famous for their movement & finishing.In this case the master geographic does qualified to be one of their watches that has a complex & complicated movement.Well tested for reliability & accuracy.Perfect for the modern traveller.......
