I don't like the chrono, that to me apppears too busy .
The Dephtmeter is an original and very well made watch, but your wrist must be very big.
This Duiver has indeed a very clean dial, and the titanium case is perfect.
This watch is growing on me.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Diving Geo
It all mechanical with a depth gauge, and unlike other attempts to it from other brands, this one works perfectly.

and at best a toy (including the top button that allows you to play with it).
Don't get me wrong, I love that watch and the way it sits on the wrist, but this mechanical depth gauge is not certified = not accurate and to me simply demonstrated MJLC's capabilities and innovation...
Good 2 c u back,
Asi

The recent history of Horology began with the IWC Deep One in 1999.
This JLC is more reliable, and better conceived.
Easy to do an electronical deph meter, more difficult to do a mechanical one.
And this JLC is indeed a true BEAST!

I just received some info concerning the Pro Geo version, in fact this piece too was heavily tested in Lana'i, both the watch and the depth gauge worked perfectly with no incident what so ever. So the depth gauge is a simple device, secure and reliable and it is mechanical!
I am waiting for more info and I will update you.

Guages integrated with those watches sure come in handy....LOLOL
Can't see the point or read the dial face for that matter....especially while diving...and you never know when you'll need that GMT funtion at 60 feet...
Sorry for the sarcasm...
LOLOL
