Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor Diving Watches

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic Navy SEALs watchJLC, one of the Real Swiss Manufactures still producing their own tiny ticking masterpieces, has revealed its new highly sophisticated Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic Navy SEALs men’s diving watch at the SIHH 2009 forum.Featuring a mechanical depth gauge hidden inside an ominous-looking compression chamber on the left side of the 18-carat pink gold case, the timekeeper is powered by an in-house 975C-based Calibre 979 automatic movement.Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (that’s exactly 8Hz, the frequency your brain likes to work at,) this gorgeous movement has a power reserve of 48 hours and features a 24-hour dual time-zone complication.At this time, Jaeger-LeCoultre has released just one hi-res photo of the watch, but it’s quite clear that the Navy SEALs edition of the timepiece differs from the original Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic only with its case material, color of the depth gauge meter and a scratch-resistant ceramic bezel. Even the rubber strap looks the same.Anyway, it is really nice to have a real diving watch on your wrist. If you can afford one, that is.

Two U.S. Navy SEALs continue to wear Master Compressor Diving Alarm Navy SEALs during deployant The National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum hosted its 24th annual Veterans Day Ceremony ("Muster") on November 7th and 8th in Fort Pierce, Florida. Members of the Jaeger-LeCoultre North American team were on hand to witness and participate in the activities, including a 5K race, a live auction, and a live capabilities demonstration preformed by US Navy SEALs. The Veterans Day ceremony honored several guests including Adm. Eric Olson, commander, U.S. Special Operations Command, and guest speaker Capt. Richard Phillips, former captain of the Maersk Alabama, who was held captive by pirates off the coast of Somalia before being rescued by the Navy SEALs. "I am honored to stand here today in the midst of the true heroes of the Naval Special Warfare, " Phillips said. "Without their training and dedication, I can honestly say that I would not be standing here today." "The muster is a great way to get both the frogmen and the public together to honor the legacy of Naval Special Warfare," McSween said. "The Museum is located on the original training grounds of the Navy's Naval Combat Demolition Units (NCDUs), which are the precursors to the modern-day SEALs. I can't think of a more appropriate location to bring the men of Naval Special Warfare together: this is their birthplace. It is great to witness SEALs revisit such an important place in their history". Among the SEALs performing the capabilities demonstration, including fastroping, a sniper demonstration, and a hostage rescue, were two individuals who are currently testing and evaluating the newest addition to the Jaeger-LeCoultre diving line: the Master Compressor Diving Alarm Navy SEALs. As part of this program, these US Navy SEALs will be wearing the watch during their deployants and operations around the world. In addition to gathering performance information about the watch in an operational environment, they have visually documented it as well.
