Jaeger Lecoultre Deep Sea Alarm E 857, Lecoultre E 857 Deep Sea Alarm, Polaris II Ref E 870, Jaeger 20 ATM, Polaris 1968 Ref E 859, Master Mariner Deep Sea Ref E 558, Shark Chronograph Ref E 2643, and the Master Mariner Dolfin, Ref E 22059.

Above, sunk in the " Tower of Power ", below, individually: 

I will probably add the only Polaris II I miss, the Red: 

And, maybe, the Master Mariner Ref E 9513 ( picture found on the net, I don't know how to credit for ). 

One thing is sure, most of these vintage diving watches are very typical, and don't look like any other. 

Another thing you can see through these watches is the amazing diversity of styles. And when you think that the first JLC diving watch was unveiled in 1959 ( Deep Sea Alarm ) and the the last one to be in production, the Polaris II E 870 ( unless the Master Mariner 9513 was produced a bit later, something I am not sure about ) was discontinued in the mid 70's, this diversity in such a short time ( 16 years or something like that ) is quite impressive. 

Best,

Nicolas
