Two funny pictures I took in a secret place in Paris, during an event for the launch of the Deep Sea Alarm Chronograph and vintage Chronograph.

We came with some professional divers, testing the Deep Sea Chronographs in an aquatic environment.

Some of them were heavily equipped. One had the Pro Geographique, the other had this MC Chronograph GMT Navy SEALs in...Rose Gold.

I just found these two pictures of a watch we don't often discuss.

Not that it is my favorite NS Chrono GMT. I much prefer it in titanium, which I find more coherent with the " spirit " of this watch.

But we don't often see it, especially in rose gold, which was limited to 500 pieces ( 1500 in titanium ).

I wonder how many of us own one of those...

Best,

Nicolas

Key Points from the Discussion

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Chronograph GMT Navy SEALs in rose gold is a rarely seen model, limited to 500 pieces, compared to 1500 in titanium.
Despite its large size of 46.6mm, the titanium version of the Master Compressor Chronograph GMT Navy SEALs wears surprisingly well and feels lighter than expected, partly due to its lug shape.
The rose gold version of this diver's watch is not universally preferred, with some collectors finding the titanium version more coherent with the watch's spirit.
The combination of rubber, rose gold, and ceramic on the thick case of the rose gold model is not appealing to all, with some preferring a more classic aesthetic.
The Master Compressor Geographic is noted for its immense thickness and technical design, making it a pleasant, albeit substantial, summer watch for those with the wrist to carry it.

Definitely not my cup of tea

this mix of rubber, rose gold, ceramic on this thick case isn't very happy IMHO.

I don't really like the Rose gold version for a watch with esthetics of diver.

This particular model is awesome. In fact it was my first JLC,I had the pleasure of got the Titanium version and I only can say good words about it. People can say that it is quite big ( 46.6 mmm) but it wears very well, it's very light and maybe due to the shape of its lugs don't seen to be so large. I love it. Here an old picture of mine. Have a nice weekend!

Thanks, Fernando. I can confirm that it wears much smaller than the size suggests on the

Paper. I was very surprised by that, too. I think you made the good choice. In fact, I also thought about getting one, but I decided to go for only one, the NSA. Best, Nicolas

Great timepieces, in an extravagantly lavish material !.. The Ti for the Chrono for me pls, if... & the Geographic is an even more hilarious paradox for a diver.. Chacun á son gout !!.. Best, :)) [nt]

The Pro Geo is something. Immensely thick, technical... A summer watch, in my opinion, but a pleasant one. If you have the wrist for. [nt]
