Jaeger-leCoultre Master CoMpressor extreMe World Chronograph User Manual

Introduction
We congratulate you on the purchase of your Jaeger­LeCoultre watch and thank you for your confidence.
Your innovative Master Compressor Extreme World Chronograph watch features an instantaneous display of the 24 time zones, as well as a clever fast strap-change mechanism to switch from rubber to leather in a moment. A world première shock absorber system protects the new automatic chronograph movement in this timepiece from shocks and vibrations that may be sustained in even the most extreme conditions.
We invite you to consult the operating instructions and we wish you great pleasure with your Jaeger-LeCoultre timepiece.
Accuracy
Mechanical models with manual or automatic winding
The precision of the mechanical models is determined by the balance. The latter performs 21,600 or 28,800 vibrations per hour depending on the model (see technical characteristics).
Despite all the care that the Jaeger-LeCoultre master­watchmakers have lavished on making and assembling your watch, its accuracy is subject to the influence of gravity, magnetic fields, shocks, as well as ageing of the oils. This accuracy is measured by its rate regularity in various positions.
The nature of your temperament and of your daily activities may cause slight variations in timekeeping. If you were to notice that your watch is running slow or fast, we advise you to take it to an approved Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer, who will make any necessary adjustments.
Quartz models
The quartz models are accurate to within 2 to 3 minutes per year.
Jaeger-LeCoultre quartz watches contain a battery and electronic components. When performing maintenance, your official Jaeger-LeCoultre Service
Centre or your authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer will take charge of their recovery and disposal in accordance with the standards in force.
Water resistance
Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Extreme World Chronograph watches are water-resistant to 10 bar/atm. This property can be identified by the
symbol engraved on the case-back. This means that you can use your watch during short swims or when diving in from the edge, but not from a diving board. Nor should it be used for undersea diving or for sports where there are significant risks of hard knocks, such as windsurfing and waterskiing. Please also note that leather straps are not suitable for aquatic activities.
Furthermore, it is essential to have your watch’s water­resistance checked by an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer at least once every two years, and definitely before any period in which it will undergo prolonged and/or regular immersion.
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 test consists of 1000 hours of comprehensive, stringent checks.

Master CoMpressor extreMe World C hronograph - English 1/8
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
Equipping the crowns of the Master Compressor line models, the patented compression key system can apply strong compression to one of the 4 crown seals, thereby ensuring impeccable long-term water resistance.
The “open” or “closed” position of the compression key is indicated by the arrow symbols (viewed from the dial side) :
- The compression key is in the compressed seal position (“closed”) if the indication is a white arrow; the keys must be closed when you wear 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 seal position (“open”) if the indication is represented by two red arrows; in this configuration, you may proceed to start the watch and adjust the functions according to the indications below.
The transition from the “closed” to the “open” position, or vice-versa, is performed by turning the key using the wing­nuts 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 closed position, the key does not lock the crown. It is thus in practice possible to handle the crown when the key is in the compressed seal position. However, as mentioned earlier, it is extremely inadvisable to make adjustments in this position, since this might damage the seals. We recommend that you first turn the compression key to the “open” position before performing any adjustments on your watch.
Adjusting the bracelet
You can adjust your steel bracelet yourself. However, if you have a gold model, we advise you to entrust it to the nearest approved Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer, or to contact one of our official Service Centres listed at the end of the guarantee booklet.
Adjusting the steel bracelet
Place the watch on your wrist. You can thus see how many links need to be added or removed.
Remove your watch by simultaneously pressing the pushpieces on either side of the clasp.
Hold the bracelet near the clasp. Using the adjustment tool, press the end of the bar (fig. 1) and lift up the link (fig. 2). Avoid the 2 links on either side of the clasp.
Proceed in the same way for the following link (fig. 3) if you want to remove a single row of links (or the 2
nd
, 3rd, etc. if you
want to remove 2, 3... rows of links).
Take out the two bars (fig. 4).
Remove the row(s) of links (fig. 5).
Place the 2 ends of the bracelet back together and insert a bar (fig. 6).
Tip over the link, press on the end of the bar pivot and push your link down until it clicks (fig. 7).

Use
Starting the watch
Crown A
Turn the compression key to the “open” position in the direction of the arrow. Crown “A” is then in position 1.
A few clockwise turns of the crown are enough to set the watch running. It is then automatically wound when you wear it. Please note that the crown does not lock on 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.
Time setting
Crown A
Turn the compression key to the “open” position in the direction of the arrow.
Then pull the crown out to position 3.
The movement is thus locked (“stop seconds” function). To enable precise time setting in seconds, pull out the crown to stop the elapsed seconds disc when the latter appears completely white or completely red.
Move the hands forward clockwise up to the desired time and, on the hour signal, push the crown back to position 1. The watch starts r unning again.
When the operation is completed, turn the compression key to the “closed” position in the direction of the arrows.
Setting the date (fast action)
Crown A
Turn the compression key to the “open” position in the direction of the arrow.
Then pull crown A out to position 2.
Move the date forward by turning the crown counter­clockwise. Perform the required number of turns until the desired date is displayed.
Note : date correction should not be performed between
10.30 pm and 3.30 am. During that period the automatic date­change of date mechanism is already in action.
When the operation is completed, push the crown back to position 1 and turn the compression key to the “closed” position in the direction of the arrows.
Chronograph operation
The central seconds hand on your Master Compressor Extreme World Chronograph displays the chronograph seconds to the nearest eighth of a second. A counter located at 3 o’clock totals the minutes up to 30 minutes (after one turn it continues to count another 30 minutes). Another counter located at 9 o’clock totals the hours up to 12 hours (after one turn it continues to count another 12 hours).
- Pushpiece at 2 o’clock : this pushpiece enables the chronograph function to be started and stopped.
- Pushpiece at 4 o’clock : this pushpiece resets the counters and the central seconds hand. When timing is in progress, a press on this pushpiece has no effect.
Each of these two pushpieces is fitted with a wing-nut with patented compression system. This permits strong compression of one of the three pushpiece seals, ensuring optimum water resistance.
Another benefit of this system is that it enables operation of the pushpieces to be locked in the closed position, thus preventing any unintentional handling of the chronograph.
To enable the chronograph functions, move the pushpieces into the “open” position by turning the wing-nuts a quarter of a turn downwards for the pushpiece at 2 o’clock (start, stop), and upwards for the pushpiece at 4 o’clock (reset).
The non-compressed gasket position (“open”) is then indicated by a red arrow (front view of watch).
Timing
- Pressing once on the pushpiece at 2 o’clock activates the chronograph. The central seconds hand turns and the minute and hour totaliser counters are in operation. A second press on the pushpiece at 2 o’clock stops the chronograph and enables reading of the time measured.
- Reset by pressing the pushpiece at 4 o’clock to be ready to perform another timing operation.
- It is possible to add up several timing operations by pressing again on the pushpiece at 2 o’clock (without having to reset the counters). Timing starts again and is added to the previous measurement.
Once the timing operation has been completed, move the pushpieces into the compressed gasket (“closed”) position by turning the wing-nuts in the direction shown by the arrow, i.e. a quarter of a turn upwards for the pushpiece at 2 o’clock (start, stop), and a quarter of a turn downwards for the pushpiece at 4 o’clock (reset).

World Time operation
Your watch has an ingenious World Time display system, enabling it to indicate the time in 24 cities of the world simultaneously.
Instant reading of the time in the 24 time zones of the world is thus possible thanks to the city disc and the 24-hour rotating ring. This reading requires pre-setting, which involves adjusting the local time by positioning the corresponding city at 6 o’clock (the reference time for the mechanism).

How to proceed :
- Set the hour and minutes on your watch according to the instructions above (local time).
- Crown B (in position 1, not pulled out) shifts the city disc : turn the crown in one direction or the other and bring the city corresponding to your local time opposite the numeral “6” on the dial (i.e. at 6 o’clock).
- The 24-hour ring then indicates the same time as your local time opposite the numeral “6” and hence opposite the reference city that you have placed in this same position.
Once this pre-setting has been performed :
- The 24-city disc no longer moves.
- The 24-hour ring turns with the local time ring, but does one turn of the dial in 24 hours. It updates the time for each of the cities at the same time as the local time.
- You can thus at any moment read the time in any city indicated by associating the time opposite the city consulted on the 24-hour ring with the minutes on your central hand.
- When travelling into another time zone, repeat the operation to display at 6 o’clock the city corresponding to the new time zone.
Nota bene : the few regions in which the official time differs by a fraction of an hour (India, Iran, Nepal) do not appear on the city disc.
Case shock-absorber system
Your watch has a novel case system which allows it to absorb the shocks sustained, and thereby protects the watch movement. The case is built in two parts :
- The central part, in titanium, is a water-resistant case which protects the movement.
- The external part consists of the lower base and the bezel.
The case containing the movement is housed in the support and can move vertically. In case of a shock, an airbag system dampens the force by 50%.
Interchangeable strap system
The base of your watch case is fitted with an integrated interchangeability system allowing the strap to be changed easily. It consists of a pushbutton which shifts part of the space between the lugs to release the strap’s spring bar from its housing in the lugs.
Removing the strap sections from the case
- Hold the back of the watch case between the thumb and forefinger of one hand (A).
- Hold the strap section between the thumb and forefinger of your other hand (B).
Closed position
Position when the strap is released
If setting is performed at 5 o'clock, you observe that the 24-hour ring indicates
"5" opposite the city at 6 o'clock.
Two hours later, at 7 o'clock, you observe
that the 24-hour ring has also moved
forward, to indicate "7" opposite the city
at 6 o'clock. The time in all time zones can
be read instantly.
Master CoMpressor extreMe World C hronograph - English 5/8
- With the thumb of hand B, push the button firmly against the case, and while maintaining the pressure pull the strap section toward you to remove it.
- Proceed in the same way for the other section.
Fitting the strap sections on the case
- Hold the back of the watch case between the thumb and forefinger of one hand.
- Hold the strap section between the thumb and forefinger of your other hand, and position its spring bar in the lug housings.
- While maintaining the strap parallel with the case, insert the spring bar firmly into the housings.
If you change strap, you can fit the folding clasp on your new strap :
Removing the folding clasp
- With one hand hold the strap section, and take the tool in the other hand. Position the tool ver tically on the end of the visible spring bar. Press vertically, and the spring bar will be released.
- While maintaining pressure on the spring bar, tilt the strap section outward to release it.
Refitting the folding clasp
- Place one end of the strap section spring bar in the appropriate clasp housing.
- With one hand hold the strap section in the housing, and take the tool in the other hand. Position the tool vertically on the other end of the bar. Press vertically.
- While maintaining pressure on the spring bar, bring the strap section back against the clasp. Release the pressure on the bar at the last minute so that the spring has time to insert the bar in its housing.
