Ah ok. But that was what I thought as well. I just did not know it was called a "compressor" crown...
The button acts as a selector for the functionality and usage of the crown in multiple positions without having to pull it out. And yes, without having to pull out the crown, the seal remains in tact at all time 👍
Now we agree and I understand 😉
Jaeger Lecoultre Amvox III: The " poor man's " Extreme Lab One?
Ok, we have many differences between the Amvox III and the Extreme Lab One: - The case, slightly bigger ( 44 mm / 45 mm ) more technical with for the Extreme Lab One with a different shape, materials and the Compressor Crown. A different water resistance,...
Although I like the Amvox 3, I just don't think of the EL1 when I see it...
And I actually prefer the Amvox 2 and 7 over the 3 and 5 due to the crystal actuated chronograph function. The Amvox 3 is an amazing watch for sure, just not an EL1 or EL2 for me 🤷♂️ Now let's hope for an EL3 😉
I understand the name but always thought the "Compressor" system was the semi-turn locking crown to seal it. Did not know the EL2 had a Compressor system as the crown is permanently sealed..
So the crown is only functional with the push button. Are you saying the push button function acts like the semi-turn locking system on the other Compressor models? Just trying to understand how it works on the EL2 🤷♂️

From my understanding of the EL2, the crown does not have multiple positions. It rests in only 1 position and the selector button changes the functionality of the crown and watch...
at least that is what my watch does. No screw down crown or seal to worry about. And if I am not mistaken, the EL2 stays sealed until it is opened up for service
True but for me it is like having a black and white Daytona, Batman and Pepsi, etc...
Yes it is the same model but slightly different as well. And from my understanding, the RED version incorporated antimagnetic components (silicon type) whereas the gold version did not. I remember JLC saying that they could not guarantee consistent time k...
You are right about the gold version. But the silicon escapement did not survive to the proto, even the definitive red.
Here is the link of my review. www.watchprosite.com And the extract of my review about that: " I asked for an official explanation about the reasons which led JLC to give up the silicon escapement: “During the development process of the Master Com...
True!
A modification, then: So little time, so little disposable wealth, so many watches!
