The case of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Date is not unlike the rest in the Master collection in that it is honest, round, and simple in design. It may not be as frilly as a Breguet or Patek Philippe case, but it is still attractively finished, with a satin-finished case middle to contrast against the rest of the mirror polished parts. Made of stainless steel, the Master Control Date is meant to be worn on a daily basis and for any occasion. And at 40 mm in diameter and 8.8 mm in height, the watch will fit most wrists and will even slide under the tightest dress cuffs should one wish to employ it for a more formal event. The tan Novonappa® calfskin strap that the watch comes with is perfect for leisure and even business. Of course, the watch can also be dressed up simply by swapping the default straps for alligator leather straps.

, the side profile of the Master Control Date is slender. Combined with its 40 mm case size, it wears elegantly and securely on most wrists. The dial, much like the case, is relatively simplistic. While it may not win any beauty pageants, it does its job of telling the time and date flawlessly. Legibility is not an issue, not even under low-light conditions thanks to the luminescent strip on the hour and minute hands, as well as the luminescent dots next to each hour marker. The date window, though a very polarising element on any watch, is discreetly integrated here in place of the 3 o’clock marker. Our favourite part of the dial is the seconds hand in flame-blued steel which adds a much needed pop of colour to the otherwise monochromatic visage of the watch.
