A quick picture of the Jaeger Lecoultre Master Compressor Diving GMT.
Titanium case, 44 mm and 46 mm, with a clear preference for the 44 mm, this watch was a character. As you can notice, Jaeger Lecoultre opted for an indicator above 6 o clock rather than a second hand. The second feature is the compressor crown. The third ...
I thought it was very cool.....
a "true GMT" that was limited to 1,500 pieces in the 44mm and unlimited in the 46. Very easy to read and wear, and the titanium made it very wearable. A great travel watch for those who like to be in and around the water a lot! -Dean
I agree with everything you say.
In addition, I like the raised index. Best, Penny. ...
Agreed!
The master compressor line was awesome. Bet they all become collectible with time!
One of my favorates watches...
Over a decade old and looks fresh and original even today,like AMVOXs,Duometres,Extreme Labs and of course Compressors. JLC I love you, but please no more Tribute watches. Best Yiannis ...
Yes, there are some very cool watches from these last 15 years.
Ax for Tributes, I agree with you. Since the TT Geophysic, no more tributes, and I don't think there are some in the tube...
Well, we had the Reverso tribute tο Gyrotourbillon and Ι consider the new Polaris Memovox, as a tribute to the tribute Polaris 68.
I am waiting your post for the new Polaris Memovox for your thoughts.
This kind of Tribute is not really a replica of a watch which existed, in my opinion. That's pretty clear with the TT Gyro, and that is also the case for the Polaris.
The Polaris Memovox 50th anniversary is not faithful to the original Polaris. That was the game to play for the Tribute. While the 50th anniversary is clearly a modern Polaris. Sapphire versus plexy, much less domed, flat dial, textured dial, much bigger ...
Ahh, that's the JLC spirit I love!
Today, this watch still looks fresh. There's very little in its general style or detail to date/age the 44mm Diving GMT. Time will not be kind -- and had not been kind -- to many oversized sports watches of the mid-2000s, but this one looks even better wi...
Thanks for your interesting input, Tim. Yes, this MC Diving GMT doesn't look outdated at all, after what? 12 years? Which is not that evident for a watch with such a strong personality.
It was well thought, and well designed. I think the future is bright, and that we'll see some exciting watches, in a close future. Jaeger Lecooultre is Jaeger Lecoultre, they HAVE to feed our dreams. And even, to go over our dreams, our expectations. Best...
