Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Geographic Luxury Watch Review

http://www.thewatchbox.com/watches/jaeger-lecoultre/#watches The early 2000's were a period of renaissance for Jaeger-LeCoultre sports watches. After a hiatus of nearly two decades, JLC resumed manufacture of sports models with the debut of the now classic Master Compressor line. This example includes Jaeger-LeCoultre’s outstanding five-link steel bracelet. The style and rugged versatility of the steel bracelet elevate the Master Compressor Geographic into direct rivalry with Rolex’s GMT-Master, Omega’s Seamaster Planet Ocean Dual Time, and evem Vacheron Constantin’s Overseas Dual Time (which contains a variation of the Compressor’s JLC movement). Clever design details of the superb JLC bracelet include twin tool-free easy link extensions for quick fit adjustments and quadruple-trigger release action for the ultimate in security on the wrist. This Master Compressor Geographic combines the innovative one-twist "Compressor" water-resistant crowns with a traditional JLC complication, the Geographic dual-time system. Add styling inspired by the legendary 1968 Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris diver, and the result is a watch that is gaining a reputation as collectible in its own right. The JLC "Geographic" function allows two types of dual-time configuration. First, it can be used as a conventional twin time zone watch. The small dial at seven o'clock can be set independently of the center hands' "local" time zone. This second time zone includes an AM/PM indicator for extra clarity.
