Jaeger Lecoultre Navy SEALs Automatic.

Nowadays, Jaeger Lecoultre plays the Polaris Card, when it comes to sports watches.
Before, we had the Master Compressor family, and among them, the Navy SEALs line.
The simpler certainly was the Navy SEALs Automatic, with its 42 mm steel case. It came with its Cordura Strap, or an articulated rubber bracelet.
Issued in 2010, it was a limited edition of 1500 pieces. 300 meters water resistant was enough, for me.
On its articulated rubber bracelet:
On its Cordura strap.
The famous case back.
I would have preferred a screw in case back rather than these 4 screws. For the rest, it is not far from perfection.
THAT was a superb alternative to the stars of the category, mainly the Rolex Submariner.
Best,
Nicolas
