DESCRIPTION
- Master Compressor Diving, a new generation of mechanical diver’s watches.
In harmony with its determination to maintain a consistently avant-garde approach, based on a tradition going back to the legendary Polaris diver’s watches, Jaeger-LeCoultre presents a new series of three diver’s watches equipped with spectacular original features. The latter include case custom designed to withstand 1000-metre depth pressures and an innovative mechanical depth gauge that owes its very existence to the unique Jaeger-LeCoultre DNA. Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic is the star diver’s model with a 46.3-mm diameter and a mechanical depth gauge, while the Master Compressor Diving GMT and Master Compressor Diving Chronograph measure 44 mm in diameter.
A professional case guaranteed water-resistant to 1000 metres
The 44-mm cases of the Master Compressor Diving GMT and Chronograph are designed to withstand extreme conditions at depths of as much as 1000 metres, thanks to an entirely new geometrical approach.
Jaeger-LeCoultre engineers have optimised the case to resist the extreme pressures exerted well below sea level by varying the thickness of the case middle, the back and the crystal. The thickest point of the middle now measures more than 5 mm – almost double that of a watch that is water resistant to 100 metres. The back is screwed in to ensure regular and more reliable compression of the joint under strong pressure. The sturdy cambered 3.60 mm-thick sapphire crystal will need to hold its own at the incredible depth of 1000 metres, corresponding to a pressure of 890 kilograms – the weight of a small car!
The design matches the technical performances of these exceptional watches. The lugs have been subtly reshaped to fit more smoothly with the diving bezel, whereas the case with its shape that has been optimised to resist extremely strong underwater pressures confers a powerful visual identity on these professional instruments.
Sturdiness, water resistance, reliability
As one would expect, the Master Compressor Diving professional models are characterised by their diving bezel featuring cutting-edge technical and aesthetic details. The latter has a 120-tooth system that means it can be indexed every 30 seconds. Like the hands and numerals on the dial, the reference triangle is luminescent to facilitate reliable dive-time calculations.
The Master Compressor Diving also guarantees excellent readability thanks to the oversized numerals and hour-markers, the new shape of the luminescent hands and the use of blue – the only colour able to ensure maximal contrast below the water’s surface. Water acts like a colour filter, the intensity of which varies according to its composition (such as the presence of salt, plankton, etc.). The higher the water above, the more effective the filter, and the more it reduces the spectrum of colours. At depths of between 30 to 60 metres, blue is the only perceptible shade. All of which explains why this colour has been chosen, in particular for the movement operating indicator which bears vital testimony to the fact that the watch is still running and will thus still be readable from several dozen metres below the surface, as well as for the depth-gauge indications.
The tried and trusted compression keys ensure optimal security thanks to the supercharging of one of the four toric gaskets by reducing the volume of its recess. In their diving version, they come with a slightly larger diameter and are clad in black rubber to ensure an excellent grip and easy handling under water.
Moreover, the extraordinary reliability of Jaeger-LeCoultre movements guarantees peerlessly accurate time measurement, a crucial factor in safe diving.
Indispensable accessories
The models in the Master Compressor Diving series are delivered with various types of wristband, depending on their version and the owner’s wishes. The articulated triple-linkbracelet, composed of a metal frame, is moulded in black rubber combining stainless properties with unprecedented wearer comfort. For the titanium models, the articulated bracelet is available in the same metal. Finally, all versions are delivered with an additional ultra-resistant diving strap in Cordura® complete with Velcro fastening. The 44 mm models are also available with a rubber-clad strap featuring universally recognised resistance.
Three typically Jaeger-LeCoultre functions
While the automatic movements driving the new series of Master Compressor Diving watches all feature the trademark precision, sturdiness and reliability of the calibres developed and built by the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre, each model is distinguished by its own functions.
Master Compressor Diving Chronograph
Measuring 44 mm in diameter, the Master Compressor Diving Chronograph is water resistant to 1000 metres – an exceptional feat for a chronograph watch, as well as pushpieces fitted with the compression system. The hours and minutes, as well as the chronograph seconds, are shown by central hands moving over the main dial, whereas the chronograph hours and minutes appear in subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock. The date is displayed through an aperture between 4 and 5 o’clock, while the luminescent movement operating indicator is shown in a semi-circular opening at 6 o’clock. The outer dial ring features a pulsometer enabling one to determine the number of heartbeats per minute. This is done by starting the chronograph seconds hand and stopping it after the 30th heartbeat measured. This function is particularly appreciated by sports enthusiasts wishing to optimise their training by taking account of their maximum pulse rates. It proves indispensable for free-diving, precisely because the diver’s task consists in reducing their heart rate. Endowed with a comfortable 65-hour power reserve, the Master Compressor Diving Chronograph is available in satin-brushed pink gold, or in a limited edition of 1500 in satin-brushed grade 5 titanium.
