Pre Richemont turned around the Reverso and the Master Control line, basically. Since JLC is part of the Richemont Group, the collection is much more diverse and rich.
I think Master Compressor is one of the most perfectly designed Dive Watches ever made. Bold, masculine...badass by all accounts.
Unfortunately, not a fan of having the SEAL Trident on it. The Trident is one of the most coveted awards/accomplishments in the military. Since I'm not a SEAL, I could never wear a watch with a Trident.
I totally agree on the merits of this model! Such a strong presence, visually and on the wrist.
I was lucky to get hold of a version from a fairly small series (30 pcs) from a Spanish jeweller that had the etching in the crystal. Loved it. And much later, I got the articulated rubber bracelet which basically completed the package.
The strong family resemblance to the Polaris was another plus!
