Jaeger-LeCoultre

My take ...

 

In my mind the re-edition is indeed a very nice watch, I had a chance to buy the steel one last year but I was looking for a watch to wear just about every weekday of the year, so the plexiglass and a few other things made me pass on that offer (I have had my current wearer for over 10 years and boy has it taken a few beatings. The sapphire, steel bezel and crown guards have saved it on a number of occations). In retrospect my love has grown more for the 65 model versus the 68.

The NSA has the modern advances we all take for granted now. When the Master Compressor Diver GMT 44mm was announced I immediately started seriously considering it as a candidate, but in the end it was something about the look that was not right for me. The NSA is more in my comfort sone, so to speak. I can agree on the "contemporary vintage" take, but maybe timeless is also a good word for it. I am also very happy that they chose to keep the dial relatively clean (and kept the NS reference on the back).

Actually I have a somewhat of a wager going on with a friend of mine, I am absolutely convinced that there will be another similar diver model (it does not take a genius to see this as JLC has announced that their partnership with the NS will last for years and result in new watches). I could put my money where my mouth is and wait for the next model, but I am overdue for a new watch and the NSA fits my bill (if only a bit big for my wrist, but we shall se when it finally rests upon it smile ). There will surely be more "unlimited" divers watches from JLC ...
