JLC MC Diving Alarm Navy SEAL Info.
On another post I am trying to figure out which watch to purchase, but I need some additional information about this specific one (JLC MC Diving Alarm NS).
One of the things I would like to know is how bright is the luminescence on this watch and how long does it stay lite ? If you have any photos, I would love to see them.
The other thing I would like to know more about is its movement. I know it uses a 956 movement and I read a few things about it, but didn’t get that much information as I would have liked. If you have this watch or even if you don’t and can give me any information on this movement I would greatly appreciate it.
If you do own this watch can you give me your thoughts on it ? Its pros and cons, etc…
As always, photos are always welcome. Thank you.
Very strong lume, indeed.
As for the Cal 956, do a search on the NSA, I wrote several posts about it. A Cal you find in the Master Memovox since 2010, in the TT Polaris, in the TT Deep Sea alarm, and in the NSA, of course.
In house alarm movement, automatic, 45 hours power reserve, 16 to 20 seconds power reserve for the alarm are its basic datas.
More to find in the several posts I wrote.
A big improvement, compared to its predecessor, is the quick set of the date.
Have a great read.

Hi Nico, the movement photo prompted to ask you this
I would be a happy chappy if it is for all, but why
I just asked for a confirmation to my contact at JLC.
5 minutes ago...
Will come back to you when I have the answer.

Nicolas
I got answer today Nico
Still in the wait for a confirmation from my contact.
But that would be a logical explanation...
Will come back to you as soon as I receive a confirmation or an infirmation.
Best, and thanks for the information.

Nicolas, think the NS Alarm is the one for me.
I am a little concerned that the watch my stop working since I plan on wearing it daily. I play tennis and baseball as well and wonder if its going to withstand all the activity. I don't want the alarm function to stop working after using it several Times or for everything to stop working since it has very fine parts on the movement.
Since you own one of these, can you give me you input?
No watch will withstand a tennis or a baseball party. No watch.
But it is a watch you can wear in any other circumstances, without fear.
If you still doubt, pass on it, if not;, jump on it.
Best,
Nicolas
As a daily wear, I should be fine then?
I don't doubt the NS Alarm, after all it is made by JLC. This is a big purchase for me and its a really nice time piece that I would hate for anything to happen to it. This is why I am asking for your thoughts and advice.
So I should be fine wearing it daily. How about the frequent use of the alarm? Lets say 1 or 2 times a day. Do you think that will hold up fine or would I be over doing it?
Thanks you.
I do understand it is a big purchase. But this is not an " issue watch "
You can wear it on a daily basis without fear, if you don't practice sports with it...
No mechanical watch can withstand practicing sports.
But you can swim with it, dive with it, live with it without any kind of problem.
This is not a " fear watch ".
Best,
Nicolas
Thank you for taking the time to explain.
I will be traveling in 3 to 4 weeks to go purchase this wonderful time piece. As soon as I purchase it and return home I will post some pics and my thoughts.
This is one watch you cannot go wrong with.
As Nicolas said there are a number of posts related to this watch, just do a Forum search and you will find a load of information including the posts from Nicolas.
It is really a great watch that I can only recommend. I just love mine and my brother in law has the same one, kind of a familly affair.
Best regards,
George
