Well, that could all change with this bad boy! :bow:

The JLC Master Compressor Diving Alarm Navy SEALs -

Image

It's been out since SIHH last year, but this is the first time I've seen one, and frankly, I think this is one of the best looking JLC's ever.............., and I tend to think they make a hell of a lot of nice looking watches.

44mm titanium case, ceramic bezel, in-house movement (OBVIOUSLY as it's a JLC), mechanical alarm, and available on ti bracelet, leather strap (which is my personal favourite), moulded rubber strap, or an articulated rubber strap as seen here.

Just a fantastic piece all round. And I WANT ONE!

Yes it is rather nice isn't it.

That's smaller than the other Navy Seals though isn't it? 44 vs. 46?

Nice looking watch, but not my favorite JLC.

Do I dare ask what the price is?

I'm curious also. I actually really like that and at 44mm it may be the only Master Compressor I would be interested in i.e. able to wear. Good find!

I like that look, nice size too. I think I saw a price some time ago of $14,000 US but that's from memory so it should be confirmed. Too steep for me!

Its somewhere around $13,000 and like the 44mm Diving GMT it is limited to 1500 pieces IIRC.

Thats an amazing watch Driver, though I love its subtle look I think the World Alarm adds much more to a collection with its distinctive look and functions.

Both are great watches though! And to add to your original statement, JLC handles titanium like no other manufacturer! Absolutely stunning pieces and you can really see why JLC is pushing for Titanium on more watches.

Hi All!

Nice Watch but in my opinion this particular model can not decide if it truly wants to be a Jeager Le Coultre or a Blancpain - reminds me of an earleir Blancpain from the late 1990's or early 2000's.

Best Regards,

Enezdez
