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 a 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.
The three models in the Master Compression Diving line are all crafted from a light and ultra-resistant grade 5 titanium, satin-brushed to reduce any glinting 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.
The Master Compressor Divng GMT, water-resistant to 100 metres, measures 44 mm in diameter. Its functions comprise the indication of local time that can be adjusted in one-hour increments in either direction, the time in a second time zone shown on a 24-hour subdial at 9 o’clock, the minutes and the date in a window at 3 o’clock. It is also distinguished by a luminescent movement operating indicator appearing in the lower part of the dial in the unusual shape of an elongated rectangle. Equipped with an automatic movement, Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 975D, the GMT model is available in a limited series of 1500 in satin-brushed grade 5 titanium.
This inseparable blend of form and function gives a unique face to the new Master Compressor Diving models, simultaneously revealing the serious nature of a professional instrument and the inventive flair of a company that considers aesthetic challenges as the indispensable complement to any technical accomplishments. In this respect, the remarkable functionality of the MasterCompressor Diving watches is simply incomparable. Each in their own way embodies the constantly renewed inventiveness of the Manufacture in the Vallée de Joux that perpetuates an historical legacy spanning almost two centuries of landmarks in applied creativity.
