(New York, NY) Feb 24, 2012 –  In theatres February 24^th, 2012, Act of Valor is an unprecedented blend of real-life heroism and original filmmaking like no other in Hollywood's history and stars active-duty Navy SEALs along with actors Roselyn Sanchez, Alex Veadov, Jason Cottle and Nester Serrano.

Act of Valor's up-to-the-minute battlefield technology requires complete reliability: only the best can stand up to its mission. As an industry leader also known for continuously pushing the boundaries, Jaeger- LeCoultre proudly lent its support and provided the "Master Compressor Diving Automatic Navy SEALs" watches for the film.  The timepieces contain a new form of superluminova that is particularly visible underwater or in the dark, while the in-house Jaeger-LeCoultre automatic movement offers total accuracy.  This collaboration was developed under trademark agreement with the U.S. Navy's permission and its pieces were designed to withstand extremely harsh conditions.

Produced and directed by former Baja 1000 champion Mike "Mouse" McCoy and former stuntman Scott Waugh, and written by Kurt Johnstad (300), the Bandito Brothers' Act of Valor tells a story that takes audiences on an edge-of-their-seat journey, when a mission to recover a kidnapped CIA operative unexpectedly results in the discovery of an imminent global threat, an elite team of highly-trained Navy SEALs must immediately embark on a secret operation, the outcome of which will determine the fate of us all.
