Jaeger-LeCoultre celebrates a world of exploration and invention with its new rugged chronograph in the Extreme Lab series. Precision and reliability in time measurement for every situation:
those are the core subjects of any watch taken aboard an expedition
that is going to set out for an exploration of the boundaries of the
world. During its whole history of 177 years, Jaeger-LeCoultre has
dedicated itself to pushing precision and reliability to the highest
possible levels in horology.
With this expertise, the
Manufacture in Switzerland’s Le Sentier is launching the new Master
Compressor Extreme LAB 2, a mechanical Chronograph with GMT-function,
especially developed for use in the most extreme environments. This
model is a rightful heir to one of the manufacture’s emblematic
watches, the 1958 Chronomètre Geophysic. As such, it has an undeniable
link with the Master Compressor line, which in the house of
Jaeger-LeCoultre stands for die-hard-sports watches with innovative
functions and thoroughly tested mechanisms outfitted with state of the
art technology, the latest in materials science and watchmaking
development. This chronograph has a digital number display and a radial
power reserve for easy readability. It is the first multi function
watch outfitted to resist magnetic fields. The movement construction
provides this anti magnetic shielding through the use of a silicone
escapement and a special alloy for the gears and trains close to the
escapement.
There are two versions: TiVan15 version
features the JLC caliber 781 and the 18kt rose gold version features
the JLC caliber 780.
