Introduction
We congratulate you on the acquisition of your Jaeger-LeCoultre watch, and
thank you for your condence.
We invite you to consult the operating instructions and hope your JaegerLeCoultre timepiece brings you great enjoyment.
Accuracy
Manually-wound or automatic mechanical watches
The precision of watch models with mechanical movements is determined by the
balance. This oscillates at a rate of 21,600 or 28,800 vibrations per hour. Despite
all the care that the master watchmakers of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture
have lavished on building and assembling your watch, its accuracy is subject to the
inuence of gravity, magnetic elds, impacts and ageing of the oils. The precision of
a watch is measured by its regularity of rate in various positions.
Your individual temperament and your activities could be the cause of slight irregularities. If you observe a discrepancy in the running of your watch, we advise
you to entrust it to an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer who will make the
necessary adjustments.
Water-resistance
Your Jaeger-LeCoultre watch is water-resistant to 10 bar. The water-resistance of
your watch is identiable by the symbol engraved on the back. This means
that your timepiece has been tested at an overpressure of 10 bar, corresponding to
an immersion pressure of 100 metres (1 bar = ~10 metres).
In accordance with the ISO 22810/NIHS 92-20 standard, in order to guarantee the
durability of the watch's characteristics over time and as the water-resistance may be
affected by certain activities, it is recommended that the user:
- have the water-resistance of the watch checked by an authorised JaegerLeCoultre dealer, in accordance with the recommendations of the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre and at any event after each opening of the case, in
which case it is recommended that the test be carried out with increased
air pressure,
- check when making the purchase that the strap or bracelet is suitable for the
intended use,

- avoid subjecting the watch to excessively abrupt temperature changes,
- protect the watch from being dropped or suffering other shocks (have the
watch checked after any violent impact),
- avoid the use of the controls, push-piece or time-setting crown while under
water or before the watch has dried after immersion,
- restore the time-setting crown and the push-pieces to their normal positions
(or, where applicable, close the compression key) after every manipulation,
- rinse the watch with fresh water after use in seawater.
You may use your watch during shor t swims, and when jumping in from the
edge of a swimming pool but not from a diving board. Your watch must not
be used for scuba diving or for sports involving signicant risk of impact, such
as windsurng or water-skiing. Also note that leather straps are not suited to
aquatic activities.
Furthermore, it is vital to have the water-resistance of your watch checked by
an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer at least once every two years, and at any
event before any period during which it is liable to undergo prolonged and/or
regular immersions.
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea Chronograph: a divers' watch that
meets the NIHS 92-11 (ISO 6425) standards
Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea Chronograph watches, which bear the title “divingwatches” satisfy the requirements of the Swiss Watchmaking Industry Standard
(NIHS) 92-11, reproducing the European standard ISO 6425.
Warning
As a precaution, we draw your attention to the following two recommendations:
- You must not adjust the crowns and push-pieces in water,
- You must not use Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea Chronograph watches for deep
dives (diving with a gas mixture, with the diver spending alternating periods
between the water and a pressurised chamber), or dives to a depth greater
than that indicated.
“1000 Hours Control” test
Jaeger-LeCoultre submits all its watches to the stringent “1000 Hours Control”, a
unique battery of comprehensive and rigorous tests lasting a full 1000 hours.
The “1000 Hours Control” seal or legend placed or engraved on the back of your
watch certies that the latter has undergone this programme of observation in our
laboratories and has successfully passed all the tests relating to regularity of rate, temperature, atmospheric pressure and resistance to shocks and magnetic elds, as well as
water-resistance trials. Your watch is thus capable of withstanding the daily stresses and
strains that await it when worn on your wrist.
The criteria of the “1000 Hours Control” programme considerably exceed the standards of ofcial timing tests, which deal only with part of the movement.
Jaeger-LeCoultre tests not only the movement prior to its being cased up in the
watch, but also the watch as a whole.
Technical specications

- 28,800 vibrations/hour.
- Power reserve: approximately 65 hours.

Use
Starting the watch
Crown in position 1.
A few turns of the crown (in either a clockwise or an anti-clockwise direction)
are enough to start the watch.
It will then automatically wind up when you wear it. Please note that the crown
does not lock when winding, even when the watch is fully wound.
Setting the time
Pull the crown out to position 2.
The movement is then locked ("stop seconds" function). To enable precise time-
setting to the nearest second, stop the seconds hand at 60.
Move the hands forward clockwise to the desired time and, on the hour signal,
push the crown back to position 1.
The watch starts running again.
Operating the chronograph
The central seconds hand on the Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea Chronograph
displays the chronograph seconds to the nearest quarter of a second. A counter
located at 3 o'clock tallies the minutes up to 30 minutes (after 1 revolution it will start
counting another 30 minutes). Another counter at 9 o'clock tallies the hours up to
12 hours (after one revolution it will start counting another 12 hours).
- Push-piece at 2 o'clock: this push-piece starts and stops the chronograph
function.
- Push-piece at 4 o'clock: this push-piece resets the counters and the central
seconds hand. When timing is in progress, pressing this push-piece has no effect.
Timing
- The chronograph is activated by pressing the push-piece at 2 o'clock once.
The central seconds hand will turn, and the minute and hour counters will
run. Pressing the push-piece at 2 o'clock again will stop the chronograph,
enabling the time measurement to be read.
- Reset by pressing the push-piece at 4 o’clock to be ready to perform another
time measurement.
- It is possible to add up several time measurements by pressing again on the
push-piece at 2 o’clock (without having to reset the counters). Timing is restarted, and is added to the previous measurement.
Chronograph status indicator
The disc indicates the the chronograph's status:
- White: the chronograph is at zero and is ready for use.
- White/red: the chronograph is in operation.
- Red: the chronograph has been stopped to take a reading (and has not been
reset to zero).
