Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor Navy SEALs Alarm

Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor Navy SEALs Alarm

Why We Love It

Here's something you probably didn't expect to see here: a tactical, titanium, oversized modern alarm watch!

It is true that our preferences generally run in the opposite direction, but every so often something modern catches our attention, and in the case of this cool diver by JLC, we just couldn't turn it down. 

Mainly because this isn't just any modern diver - this is a Master Control Diving Alarm, released as part of JLCs Navy SEALs collection.  Now discontinued, this exotic reference pays homage to the US Navy's elite warriors - yeah, those scuba diving, parachuting, machine gunning badasses with the sexy black outfits.  Never forget the hyper-realistic depiction by Charlie Sheen back in 1990.

Utilizing their in-house Calibre 956, the Diving Alarm features an automatic winding movement with a manually-wound mechanical alarm. Like their ancestral Deep Sea Alarms, the alarm function on the Navy SEALs is charged and set by means of the top crown, which operates the inner dial ring to set the time of the alarm.

The crisp ring that comes when the hands cross the set time alerts the diver that it is time to ascend. It of course works above water as well, making it perfect for determining the perfect time to execute a breaching maneuver utilizing fragmentation grenades, suppressed submachine guns and garrote wire. Or, when its time to go pick up the kids at school. You get the idea.

While many manufactures have developed mechanical alarms, Jaeger-LeCoultre is the undisputed king of the hill, and when you hear this thing go off - and you will, if you're anywhere nearby - you'll know you're hearing a JLC.

Watches like this are one of the reasons we still pay attention to the modern timepiece industry. Most of the stuff they churn out, well, is not for us; but every once in awhile something comes along that speaks (Buzzes? Rings?) the truth. 

This is modern watchmaking in its most badass manifestation.
