Don't forget the compressor crown, which is very important as the weakest point is the seal between the crown and the case! [nt]

Jaeger Lecoultre Navy SEALs Automatic.
Nowadays, Jaeger Lecoultre plays the Polaris Card, when it comes to sports watches. Before, we had the Master Compressor family, and among them, the Navy SEALs line. The simpler certainly was the Navy SEALs Automatic, with its 42 mm steel case. It came wi...
Thanks for sharing my friend
Haven’t seen pics of this watch for awhile and almost forgot about it. Definitely one of the nicest sports watch from JLC, wish they can make watches like this again.
This captures very well the time
when I felt many exciting things were happening one after another at JLC. Just wonderin' where has that feeling gone? I remember looking hard at this particular watch but in the end it was just too big (and thick) for my small wrist. Thanks for bring this...
That was a good looking watch.
I als do miss a modern (not vintage style) real sports watch in the JLC collection.
Haven't seen this one ever before.
Quite a statement watch en looking very up to the job in my eyes. Nicolas, as far as know, has JLC supplied US Nave Seals with watches similar to this one? Thanks for showing. George
My kind of diver!
I love it. Me thinks too many are caught in the mainstream of Subs and 300s for this to ever be financially viable for JLC. Maybe I am wrong. This is on my list, I do worry about the rubber bracelet, or whatever matter that is. Sure it’s sturdy enough tho...
The Navy Seals diver is a great watch. Had one and gave it to a family member since I also have the NSA. The articulated rubber and Ti bracelet is uber cool and comfortable...
hopefully JLC will realize how great the Compressor line was and put more focus on something similar in the future.
It's the blackness of the bracelet that holds me back. The leather strap fits so much better but is rare to find. [nt]
Otherwise one of the best dive watches out there!
Great watch
I have the Master Compressor Diving GMT in 46mm witch also came with four screws back ,but 100 ATM and I was wondering how JLC managed to achieve that water pressure performance with just four screws.
Crown
Yes of course,but from what I saw the compressor system it looks more prepared technically to achieve the seal then just four screws that must put the right amount of pressure on a circular rubber seal .Luminox use the same four screws back for their watc...
Beauty
I love it and especially the fact that its linked to the Navy Seals makes my heart tick just bit faster. You mentioned it as an alternative. But wasn’t it so that there was a kind of Holy Trinity for those type of watches: Rolex FF and this JLC? The screw...
I really want one!
These look amazing. Just wish it had an exhibition case-back. I know it's not normal with divers but it's not like anyone is taking a $$$ watch diving anyways lol
