A Collaboration Watch Featuring the Brand's Signature Alarm
Jaeger-LeCoultre has once again introduced an automatic model to its "Navy Seals" collection, a collaboration watch with the U.S. special forces, drawing renewed attention to the line. Pictured here is the "Master Compressor Diving Alarm Navy Seals," the commemorative model that marked the brand's first collaboration with the Navy SEALs last year.
This model, which utilizes titanium for the first time in a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch with its signature alarm function, measures 44mm in diameter but remains light on the wrist, producing the same beautiful alarm sound as its steel-cased predecessors. It is equipped with Caliber 956, featuring a large free-sprung balance and ceramic ball bearings for enhanced shock resistance. Design enhancements, such as a longer minute hand compared to the hour hand and an all-matte finish, also improve legibility.
Beyond its diver-specific features, including a robust ceramic bezel and a comfortable rubber strap, the watch's striking combination of black and white is also noteworthy.
Automatic, titanium x ceramic strap, 300m water resistance, ¥1,144,500
