Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your Jaeger-LeCoultre
watch, and thank you for your confidence.
Produced in partner ship with the elite divers of the American
armed forces, the United States Navy SEALs, this new generation of diving watches is distinguished by a case with extreme
high-pressure resistance. A genuine professional diving tool
inspired by the equipment of this special unit, the Master
Compressor Diving Alarm Navy SEALs offers perfect readability thanks to oversized and luminescent-coated numerals,
indexes and hands. The unidirectional bezel enables elapsed
diving times to be calculated via its luminescent reference
triangle.
Please check through the operating instructions for your
Jaeger-LeCoultre timepiece: we hope that you will be very
happy with it.
Accuracy
Accuracy is ensured by the balance, which completes
28,800 vibrations per hour.
Despite all the care with which the Manufacture
Jaeger-LeCoultre master watchmakers have made and
assembled your watch, its accuracy is subject to the influence
of gravity, magnetic fields, impacts and ageing of the oils.
Watch accuracy is measured by rate regularity in a variety
of positions.
The nature of your constitution or lifestyle may lead to slight
irregularities. If you observe irregular running of your watch,
you are advised to take it to an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre
retailer, who will make any necessary adjustments.
Water-resistance
Jaeger-LeCoultre watches are water-resistant to 3, 5, 10, 20, 30
or 100 atm, depending on the model (see technical specifications). This property can be identified by the
symbol
engraved on the case-back. This means that your timepiece
has been tested to an immersion pressure equivalent to 30,
50, 100, 200, 300 or 1000 metres, according to the number
of atmospheres shown beside the aforementioned symbol
(1 atm = 10 metres).
You can use your watch while swimming or diving from the
edge, but not from a diving board. Please also note that
leather straps are not suited to water sports.
It is essential to have your watch’s water-resistance regularly checked by an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer, and
definitely before a period of intensive use.
The «1000 Hours Control» test
by Jaeger-LeCoultre
Jaeger-LeCoultre subjects each of its watches to the rigourous “1000 Hours Control” test programme. Unique in its kind,
this programme consists of 1000 hours of comprehensive,
stringent checks.
The “1000 Hours Control” seal or marking affixed or
engraved on the back of your watch certifies that it has
undergone this observation programme in our laboratories
and has passed all the tests, relating to rate regularity, temperature and atmospheric pressure, resistance to impacts
and magnetic fields, as well as water-resistance. Your watch
is therefore capable of withstanding the trials awaiting it in
everyday life when you wear it on your wrist.
The criteria of the “1000 Hours Control” programme
go far beyond the official timekeeping test standards, which concern only part of the movement.
Jaeger-LeCoultre tests not only the movement before casing
it within the watch, but also the watch as a whole.

Compression keys
The compression key fitted on the crowns of
Master Compressor line watch models is a patented system
which enables additional compression of one of the 4 crown
gaskets, which boosts your watch’s water-resistance in the
long term.
The “open” or “closed” position of the compression key is
indicated by the arrow symbols (viewed from the front):
- The compression key is in the compressed gasket position (“closed”) if the indicator shows only one arrow; the
keys must be closed when you are wearing your watch and
when you are taking part in spor ts. You must not make any
adjustments or set the time in this position, since this might
damage the gaskets.
- The compression key is in the non-compressed gasket position (“open”) if the indication is represented by two arrows; in this configuration, you can start the watch and set
the functions as per the explanations below.
The switch from “closed” to “open” position, or vice-versa, is
made by turning the key using the wing-nuts in the direction
indicated by the arrow(s).
Note
The water-resistance function of the compression key is
separate from the operation of the crown itself. Even in the
closed position, the key does not lock the crown. Therefore in
practice it is possible to manipulate the crown when the key
is in the compressed gasket position. However, as mentioned
earlier, it is extremely inadvisable to make adjustments in this
position, since this might damage the gaskets. We recommend
that you first turn the compression key to the “open” position
before making any adjustments to your watch.
Master Compressor Diving, diving watches
satisfying the NIHS 92-11 (ISO 6425) standards
Master Compressor Diving line watches that bear the title
“diving watches” 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 in water,
- You must not use Master Compressor Diving 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.

Movement
Use
Starting the watch
Turn the compression key to the “open” position in the direction of the arrow. Crown B is then in position 1.
A few clockwise turns of the crown will suffice 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.
When the operation is completed, turn the compression key
to the “closed” position in the direction of the arrows.
Setting the hour and minute
Turn the compression key to the “open” position in the
direction of the arrow. Pull crown B out to position 2. The
movement will be stopped. This will in turn stop the seconds
hand. Move the hands forward clockwise to the desired time.
When the operation is completed, push the crown back into
position 1. The watch will then start r unning again.

Operating indicator
The seconds hand completes one revolution in 60 seconds.
This also shows you that the watch is running.
Setting the date
Pull crown A out to position 2. This timepiece features a date
display window at 3 o’clock and a rapid correction system.
If you have to move the date one day forward, turn crown
A (in position 2) clockwise. Repeat the operation until the
desired date is displayed. For months of less than 31 days,
follow the same procedure to move on to the 1st of the
month. When the operation is completed, push crown A back
into position 1.
After setting the date, move the hands forward to the desired
time - via 12 o’clock if it is after noon. When the operation is
completed, turn the compression key to the “closed” position
in the direction of the arrows.
Setting the alarm
Winding
Turn the compression key to the “open” position in the
direction of the arrow. Crown A will then be in position 1.
The alarm is wound by turning the crown clockwise. When
winding is complete, the crown is locked.
Setting the alarm time
Pull crown A out to position 2. This function enables you
to adjust the alarm’s mobile disc by turning the crown
anti-clockwise, to position the triangular mark situated in
the centre of the dial over the desired chime time. When
the operation is completed, push crown A back into
position 1.
Switching the alarm on or off
The alarm is activated when crown A is in position 1. It is
stopped when the crown is in position 2. Therefore the
chime can be stopped at any time by pulling out crown
A. However, note that the crown must be pushed back
into position 1 to ensure water-resistance. When the
operation is completed, turn the compression key to the
“closed” position in the direction of the arrows.
Diving bezel
The Master Compressor Diving Alarm Navy SEALs watch
model features a unidirectional rotating bezel (can only
be turned anti-clockwise), with an index marking every
minute.
It can measure a particular time using the luminescent
white triangular marker as a reference point in relation to
the hour hand or minute hand.
To move the diving bezel, you need only grip it with two
fingers and turn it anti-clockwise to the desired position.
Adjusting the wristlet
Note: The wristlet illustrations below may not correspond to
either your wristlet or your watch, but the demonstration
illustrated is completely identical and valid.
Adjusting the clasp
The clasp on metal bracelets and articulated rubber straps is
fitted with an adjustment system enabling you to lengthen or
shorten your wristlet by 4 mm on either side, for greater wearer
comfort.
Using the fine adjustment system
Switch from the long position to the short position:
Remove your watch. Hold your clasp open between the thumb
and forefinger of one hand, with the wristlet section in your
other hand (fig. 1).

(from the opposite side of the
horn) to push the spring back
inside the bar.
Move the retracted bar to over
the housing hole in the horn,
and release it so as to engage
the spring.
Make sure that the wristlet is
properly fitted by pulling gently
on the section.
