Jaeger-LeCoultre "Master Compressor Diving Alarm 300m Navy Seals", Case No. 2580041, Ref. 160.T.96, Cal. 956, 44 mm, circa 2011
A large automatic diving wristwatch with alarm and date - limited series number 14 of 1500 pieces. In 2015 the watch was given a general overhaul by Jaeger- LeCoultre - with original box, certificate, operating instructions, spare strap and tool for changing the wristbands
Case: titanium, screw back with engraved U.S. Navy Seals logo, turnable bezel, original caoutchouc strap with titanium buckle. Dial: black.
In 1959 Jaeger-LeCoultre revealed their Memovox Deep Sea, the first diving watch equipped with an alarm which revolutionised underwater exploration. The purpose of the alarm is to remind the diver when to return to the surface. In co-operation with the U.S. Navy SEALs, the U.S. Navy’s primary special operations force, this crucial function was reintroduced fifty years later.
Refining the compression crown technology, a patented system locking the pusher and the crown provides the wearer with perfect safety and reliability. A quarter turn is enough to seal the system as tightly as a submarine hatch.
