A brief review of Master Compressor Diving GMT
I bought the watch in September 2008 brand new.
I was looking for a watch that it can be used without second thought every day at the sea for swimming(not diving).
Ever since the watch works flawlessly without any problem at all. The most impressive characteristic is the accuracy of the movement(calibre 975).+1sec/week due to the large balance with an inertia of 14mg/cm2.(The most accurate of all my watches including another 5 JLC's).
The case measures 44mm in diameter but it feels smaller and seats comfortably in my 17cm wrist due to the fact that it is made of titanium grade 5. I sent the watch for a routine first service 6 months ago and i received it back after 4 months. After thousands of hours together in the sea with my faithful companion the love for this watch increases with time. Thank you for reading. Best regards, Yiannis

Thanks for your post, Yiannis. That is very interesting to have an owner's point of view
On a Watch. After a bit more than 6 years, you had the opportunity to test it in all the situations. We should more often discuss that Watch, as it was a very interesting offer from JLC in the Diving Watches field. A good competitor in this segment. Thank...
Thank you for your thoughts Nicolas,
I must admit that 95% of wrist time is while swimming at the no office GMT function not really necessary. The case is in very good contition but this isn't the case for the bezel which can easily been scratched.I would prefer the ceramic bezel of the Na...
A versatile watch indeed.
Hi proestak, That's a great summary of your time with the MCD GMT. Like you, I've enjoyed this watch from time to time, although I've never owned one. The 44mm case certainly wears smaller than its nominal diameter, the legibility is outstanding, and the ...
I see this one as a first experience in the diving watch category.
It is true that its short life is due to the Navy SEALs line. But, as a first, and due to its qualities ( robustness / accuracy ) and its look, it deserves ore attention, I agree. Best, Nicolas
