This " new " Master Compressor Chronograph Ceramic was not part of the watches I posted during my general presentation.

It is now time to discover it.

The case is not made of Cermet, at the difference with the Deep Sea Chronograph Cermet, but in ceramic.

The diameter of the case is... 46 mm, which is not evident when you see it in the real, as it looks much smaller.

The small dot, Under the Jaeger-Lecoultre signature is a day / night indicator.

It is a Chronograph AND a GMT, which are two complications which go together well, I think.

The Red second hand of the Chronograph gives some life to this dark Watch, as well as the long triangular white indexes, charged with superluminova.

The movement, Cal 757, offers an autonomy of 65 hours, is, of course, automatic winding, and beats at the rythm of 28800 alternances per hour.

The Cal 757:



Now, some live pictures of this Ceramic Chronograph:









This Watch is water resistant to 100 meters, which is enough for most of the situations we have to face in our life, and is limited to 500 pièces.

To be complete, the Watch comes with a Trieste calf skin fitted with a satin brushed steel pin buckle. A strap we well know since it was mounted on the Deep Sea Chronograph Cermet, and prove its resistance lats summer, when I brought it with me for an " on the wrist " review.

For those who are fans of black watches.

Best,

...but i trust you :) maybe the only thing i don't love on this watch is the date (redundant theme in my post, sorry about that) but of course, is a GMT...and a GMT without date.... :) positive. chris

that I like this movement better in the Navy Seals GMT Chrono, mainly because I DON'T like the case having 1 Compressor Crown and 2 flat, rectangular, double gasket chrono pushers. I think Compressors should have ALL entry points as Compressor Crowns. That is my opinion, of course. -Dean

Put it out of my confort zone. I may need to look for an old (and smaller) JLC. Gorgeous pictures as usual. Cheers Nilo

As I really believed it was a 44 mm case. As for the Date, how can I disagree with you? ;) Best, Chris. Nicolas
