Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic

In 2007, the hearts of those who appreciate sports watches have been gladdened by a great variety of new remarkable timepieces introduced. Different brands have enlarged their sports watch category as it has always been highly demanded and profitable. Moreover, while dress watches or complicated watches may require a lot of care or thinking from their owners, the only thing you must do with a sports watch is to strap it on and do just about anything if you wear a real sports watch on your wrist.

Jaeger-LeCoultre has maintained one of the leading positions as the producer of distinctively styled and functional sports watches. In 2007 the company has launched the new Master Compressor Diving collection. Designed to be a true sports timepiece, the Master Compressor Diving is characterized by unique design and construction presented in an attractive and useful package.

The Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic boasts 300-meter water-resistance. The sports watch is provided with a mechanical depth gauge. It features the world time in the way to offer supreme readability.

While designing the cool depth gauge, the Jaeger-LeCoultre technicians came up with a bold idea - to transpose the unique system driving the Atmos clock for about 80 years into a mechanism controlled by water pressure instead of air pressure. The depth gauge of the watch has a membrane that is expanding or contracting depending on the aquatic pressure produced on its metal head. It is displayed on the blue depth gauge pointer with help of a transmission system, partially visible on the dial. The big rhodium-plated component, known as a rack, and the central pinion, are created with specific shape to provide a logarithmic-scale display, more detailed over the first 40 meters.

It's not necessary to merge unto water to make use of this function. The owner of the Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic can press on the head of the depth gauge any time he wants, thus making the pointer move according to how hard the head has been pressed. The case of the new Jaeger-LeCoultre sports watch measures 46.3 mm in diameter. The timepiece is driven by a new Geographic movement and is crafted in grade 5 Titanium.
