Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your Jaeger-LeCoultre
watch, and thank you for your confidence.
Designed for the man of today, the Grande Reverso 976
watch combines elegance, vigour and robustness. Its design
features exceptional power, with clear and useful functions.
It houses the emblematic properties of the legendary reversible watch in a rectangular case.
Please check the operating instructions for your
Jaeger-LeCoultre timekeeper: we hope you will be ver y
happy with it.
Accuracy
Manually-wound or automatic mechanical models
The accuracy of mechanical models is determined by the balance, which completes 21,600 or 28,800 vibrations per hour,
depending on the model (see technical specifications). Despite
all the care with which the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre
master watchmakers have made and assembled your watch,
its accuracy is subject to the influence of gravity, magnetic
fields, impacts and ageing of the oils. The accuracy is measured
by its rate regularity in various positions. The nature of your
constitution or lifestyle may lead to slight irregularities. If you
observe irregular running of your watch, you are advised to
entrust it to an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer, who will
make any necessary adjustments.
Quar tz models
Quartz models are accurate to within 2 to 3 minutes per year.
Jaeger-LeCoultre quartz watches contain a batter y and electronic components. In maintenance operations, your official
Jaeger-LeCoultre Service Centre or your authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer will ensure that they
are disposed of in accordance with the standards in
force.
Water-resistance
Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso watches are water-resistant
to 3 bar/atm. This property can be identified by the
symbol engraved on the case-back. This means that you can
use your watch during short swims or when diving in from
the edge, but not from a diving board. Nor must it be used
for scuba diving, or for sports with high risks of impacts, such
as windsurfing or water-skiing. Please also note that leather
straps are not suited to water sports.
Furthermore, it is essential to have your watch's waterresistance checked by an authorised Jaeger-Lecoultre retailer
at least once every 2 years, and definitely before any period
when it will be subjected to prolonged and/or regular
immersion.

The «1000 Hours Control» test
by Jaeger-LeCoultre
Jaeger-LeCoultre subjects each of its watches to the rigourous “1000 Hours Control” test programme. Unique in its kind,
this programme consists of 1000 hours of comprehensive,
stringent checks. The “1000 Hours Control” seal or marking affixed or engraved on the back of your watch certifies that it has undergone this observation programme in
our laboratories and has passed all the tests, relating to rate
regularity, temperature and atmospheric pressure, resistance
to impacts and magnetic fields, as well as water-resistance.
Your watch is therefore capable of withstanding the trials
awaiting it in everyday life when you wear it on your wrist.
The criteria of the “1000 Hours Control” programme go far
beyond the official timekeeping test standards, which concern
only par t of the movement. Jaeger-LeCoultre tests not only
the movement before casing it within the watch, but also the
watch as a whole.
Technical specifications
- Mechanical manually-wound movement, Calibre 976.
- 28,800 vibrations/hour.
- Power-reserve: approximately 48 hours.
Movement
Use
The crown of the Grande Reverso 976 watch enables you to:
- Wind up the watch if it has not been worn for more than
48 hours (crown in position 1).
- Quick-set the hour hand in one-hour jumps, for example
if changing time-zone (crown in position 2).
-
Set the minute and hour (crown in position 3).
Winding
Crown in position 1.
The watch is wound by turning the crown clockwise. The
movement is fully wound when the crown is locked.
Do not attempt to wind a manually-wound watch beyond the
lock-point. To ensure good rate accuracy, it is preferable to
wind your watch regularly, once a day.
Setting the hour hand in one-hour jumps
This position enables you to quick-set the hour in one-hour
jumps, without modifying the minute setting.
Pull the crown out to position 2. Move the hour hand forwards or backwards to the desired hour.
Setting the hour and minute
Pull the crown out to position 3.
Move the hands forwards or backwards until the desired time
is displayed. The movement will be locked (“stop seconds”
function). To ensure an accurate setting, stop the seconds hand
at 12 o’clock. When the operation has been completed, push
the crown back into position 1. The movement will restart.
