The Sea Snake of the Compressor Line. A guess estimate would lead me to think that circa 50 were made. Most probably a bit less. The " Oil Free " watch, by JLC. There are few chances you can see one " in the wild ". Yes, a dream, a fantasy. Best, Nicolas ...  

I remember panerai also producing an oil free watch with a 50yrs warranty 😎.

My absolute favorite watch all brands included. Watches like this made JLC my most loved watch brand. Time for an new EL3.I hope JLC read us. Best Yannis

So far neither affordable nor new. well.. hopefully, one day. Best, Fernando

at your words ‘oil free’. This is remarkable. Oil free running of a mechanical movement. Waauw. Beside of this, the watch looks stunning also.

This was such a cool era from JLC.

A high Tech piece for sure. If my memory serves well, even the Titanium alloy used by JLC is a TiVan 15%. A very hard metal Used for maximum scratch and wear/tear resistance.

... To an already JLC'd collection.

... If you can find one it won't be inexpensive.

I'm not holding my breath that I'll ever see one. M4

The EL2 is very cool, but quite large I believe. M4

Very unfortunate that this tech hasn't found its way into more watches, especially considering this was released over a decade ago. Is there a particular reason it's so hard to produce an oil-free watch?
