Master Compressor Diving 1000 GMT, watch number 2461510, reached 1080 meters depth on Thursday 14th June at 10 a.m. 09 minutes, off the coasts of the island of Lana'i, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The international press, made up of a group of about fifty journalists, was present when the robot of Jaeger-LeCoultre, equipped with a camera, carried out the 30 minutes descent with the watch, from the American Islander ship, Honolulu.

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.

Imo, the best Diving mechanical watch is a JLC >

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.

the depth gauge is merely a gimmick

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,

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.

would be very interesting to read

and also to hear how the watch solves the problem associated with diving in helium enriched environment necessary at these depths (when straped to a diver, of course).

Cheers,

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
