My compadres have given you the basics, I'll give the specifics...
The Dualmatic (and it's sister watch, the Master Hometime), were part of the "Auto-tractor" project that consummated in 2006, in which JLC was trying to develop it's most robust, but easiest to service, automatic base movement. A number of watches came from this including the Compressor Diving GMT, the Lady Compressor GMT, the Hometime (both dials), the later Compressor Dualtime, and even the Reverso Grande Duodate (but the shaped version, without rotor).
It is an EXTREMEMELY robust movement, and the Compressor crowns are, to me, the best water-proofing system I've seen.
Enjoy!

Hi all, Dualmatic newbie here.....
Hi there, been searching the web for more information on my new pre-owned purchase - a Master Compressor Dualmatic, and there's really not much about. Personally i love the watch but it was something of a spur of the moment purchase and I'm wondering why ...
Welcome to PuristSPro, Chelmersmudge!
The JLC experts will be around shortly to answer with more detail Your Dualmatic is part of the Magali Metrailler designed range of Master Compressor watches and its Master Compressor Memovox \'sister\' is one of the more popular watches here (on my shopp...
In the early 2000's ( 2002 to be precise ), Jaeger Lecoultre launched a new line of products, the Master Compressor.
They started with the Memovox, and then the Dualmatic and the Geographiqiue. In 2006 ( if my memory serves me well ) we had the Master Compressor Diving. And so on... A new line of sports products, with a compressor crown. The Dualmatic is in between, bet...

Thanks guys
Interesting stuff. They don't seem to be on sale very often. Hoping my investment goes up, even though I very much doubt I'll ever sell it!
JLC is for connesieurs, not speculators...
However, that being said, I had a Master Moon that I bought in '01 and sold in '07 and I gained 280%. But I don't buy to sell, I buy to enjoy. If you ever sell JLC, Patek or Rolex, you MUST think 10 years later. -Dean
Not speculating - but always good to know that nice things I spend decent money on won't be worthless in a few years time
My collecting so far has involved trying to spot a reasonable deal on a more basic model of watch, then when I spot something else that takes my fancy and have the spare cash trading 'up'. So sold my first watch (Speedy obviously ) when i spotted a deal o...
Congrats!
It's worth it to read the review of the 975 "Autotractor" movement that's posted somewhere here. I owned the Hometime, and after it was stolen managed eventually to replace it with a Dualmatic, which I have now owned for...over 7 years. It is extremely ro...
