A beautiful but sometimes forgotten reference
I am sure there are others who know much more than me. It was introduced in 2012 as a piece reimagined from the 50's/60's Deep Sea Alarm dive watch style of what might have been (not based on a prior real reference). It was a contemporary take of the retro style (including plastic crystal) but using a modern JLC movement 751. I do not believe it was a limited edition, but rather had a limited production run circa 2012-2013. Funny thing is, although I adore this watch (and its modern 3 register deep sea chrono equivalent which debuted a short time later) it does not seem to get a lot of love.

That really is a stunning looking Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea Vintage Chronograph.

The hidden X story of this watch…
The Deep Sea Vintage Chronograph is not a tribute but is an extraordinary watch. Nicolas (Amanico) sketched out the basic outline on a paper tablecloth during a dinner with Jérôme Lambert (first period as CEO of JLC)... Jérôme didn't say anything to anyon...
Super story
This is a cool story I don’t know. I kind of remember that JT was vintage inspired but not a tribute per se … but the story makes it unique. Might have know to locate another one, don’t recall why I let that one go must confess … Thanks @Nico for the insp...
Fascinating backstory thanks for sharing!
That is such a cool story and definitely adds to the charm of that model.
