Jaeger Lecoultre Navy SEALs Alarm: An " avant gout " of summer.
We discussed, these last weeks, the fact that we regretted to not see a new Sports Watch in the JLC Catalog.
The Compressor line had some interesting models, from the elusive Extrem Lab One, to the more simple Master Compressor Memovox or Extrem World Chronograph.
We discovered, in 2009, the Navy SEALs Alarm, which is, despite its novelty, strongly linked to the DNA of the brand, with its dial borrowed to the Deep Sea Alarm Europe and Polaris 1968.
That is a big Watch ( 44 mm ) a thick Watch ( around 15 mm ) but such a cool Watch. JLC was smart enough to opt for titanium, for the lightness and the confort on the wrist.
Add a very luminous and strong Superluminova C3, which is a torch in the night, the big hands and you also have a very legible Watch.
One of my favourite, in the Compressor Family.
Here, a postcard from the Trieste Marina, taken last summer.
Aaah, don't forget to test the water resistance of your summer Watch, if you want to give it some water activity!
Best,
Nicolas.

That and the NS GMT are pieces of my "silent loves".. Yet, they have somehow escaped me so far.. ;))
.. The combo, you described , ( Ti, strong luminosa, great legibility, wearing comfort) make it a desirable no-nonsense watch.. Macho.. but dedicated, strong.. but with efficiency as yardstick. ( Often was reluctant a bit, as so very thick..) Guess, howev...
Another one you should try, my friend. That is a big watch. So...
A test in the real is mandatory. Best, Nicolas
