The Reverso was created in 1931 to solve a very specific problem: British officers in colonial India kept cracking the crystals of their wristwatches during polo matches. The solution was a case that swivels 180 degrees on its base, hiding the dial behind a solid metal back. Nearly a century later, the Art Deco lines of that original design, the stepped case sides and gadrooned edges, remain unchanged on the Reverso Classique.
This example is cased in 18k yellow gold, with a clean white dial, Arabic numerals, and blued steel hands, powered by a quartz movement for low-maintenance daily wear. Fitted to a black alligator strap with gold pin buckle, it captures the model's Art Deco heritage in one of its more accessible, everyday configurations.
