3. Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic

The Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic, which is recognisable by its 46.3-mm diameter and its characteristic appearance due to the presence of the depth gauge, houses a new Geographic sports movement. All the wearer needs to do is position the city symbolising a given time zone in an aperture at 6 o’clock, and the time there is automatically shown on a 24- hour subdial at 9 o’clock. Nonetheless, this indication highlights the “rack” required to transmit the depth indication, read off by a pointer on the logarithmic scale of the depth gauge shown on an outer dial ring. The date appears in an aperture at 3 o’clock, whereas the luminescent movement operating indicator is located in the lower part of the dial. Equipped with the automatic movement, Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 979, and water-resistant to 300 metres, the Diving Pro Geographic model is available in satin-brushed grade 5 titanium.

4. Master Compressor Diving Chronograph

Measuring 44 mm in diameter, the Master Compressor Diving Chronograph is water resistant to 1000 metres - an exceptional feat for a chronograph watch, as well as pushpieces fitted with the compression system. The hours and minutes, as well as the chronograph seconds, are shown by central hands moving over the main dial, whereas the chronograph hours and minutes appear in subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock. The date is displayed through an aperture between 4 and 5 o’clock, while the luminescent movement operating indicator is shown in a semi-circular opening at 6 o’clock. The outer dial ring features a pulsometer enabling one to determine the number of heartbeats per minute. This is done by starting the chronograph seconds hand and stopping it after the 30th heartbeat measured. This function is particularly appreciated by sports enthusiasts wishing to optimise their training by taking account of their maximum pulse rates. It proves indispensable for free-diving, precisely because the diver’s task consists in reducing their heart rate. Endowed with a comfortable 65-hour power reserve, the Master Compressor Diving Chronograph is available in satin-brushed pink gold, or in a limited edition of 1500 in satin-brushed grade 5 titanium.

5. The Master Compressor Divng GMT

The Master Compressor Divng GMT, water-resistant to 100 metres, measures 44 mm in diameter. Its functions comprise the indication of local time that can be adjusted in one-hour increments in either direction, the time in a second time zone shown on a 24-hour subdial at 9 o’clock, the minutes and the date in a window at 3 o’clock. It is also distinguished by a luminescent movement operating indicator appearing in the lower part of the dial in the unusual shape of an elongated rectangle. Equipped with an automatic movement, Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 975D, the GMT model is available in a limited series of 1500 in satin-brushed grade 5 titanium.
