Master Compressor Diving GMT Lady Céramique.
Diamonds meet ceramics for the most feminine of all
professional diving watches.
The first black dial in the collection
In a remarkably legible display, the dial presents all the functions required for a professional
diver’s watch. The trapeze-shape central hour and minute hands are coated with a luminescent
substance, while the metallic applied hour-marker and numerals stand out clearly against a black
background. On either side of the dial, two complementary indications face each other in classic
Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre style: the date at 3 o’clock occupies a central position in an
opening shaped like the arc of a circle; while the ever popular dual time-zone appears on a 24-
hour subdial at 9 o’clock. Since refinement is essentially a question of detail, this display features
one of the signature characteristics of the Master Compressor Diving Lady line: a wind rose
evoking the old-time navigating instruments and the history of the great maritime discoveries.
The movement operating indicator which is an indispensable part of any diver’s watch appears
through a particularly original triple-aperture window that serves to follow the rotation of a
two-tone disc pivoting in an original and contemporary interpretation of the small seconds
display.
The lacquered steel unidirectional diver’s bezel is equipped with a protection mechanism against
inadvertent rotation. This mechanism, along with the luminescent coating on the triangularshaped
index, serves to avoid any mistake in dive-time calculations. Meanwhile, since even the
sportiest women are sensitive to the timeless fascination of precious stones, the bezel is set with
full-cut diamonds that illuminate the black and white symphony of the dial with dazzling
radiance.
Jewellery-watch and precision instrument
Like all professional diver’s watches, the Master Compressor Diving Lady Céramique meets the
set of technical specifications laid down by the NIHS (Swiss Watch Industry Norms), particularly
in relation to luminescence, watertightness and shock resistance. The reassuring presence of the
compression key, which ensures total security by supercharging a joint, testifies to its belonging
to the Master Compressor line. Water-resistant to 100 metres and teamed with a black rubber
strap on a steel frame, a black satin strap or a black ceramic wristband, the case is fitted with a
screw-lock sapphire case-back that ensures more regular pressure on the joint than a back
secured with screws, and also reveals the beauty of the entirely hand-decorated movement,
Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 971 D. This worthy representative of the latest generation of
automatic movements by the Manufacture, equipped with a balance oscillating at a rate of
28,800 vibrations per hour and endowed with a 48-hour power reserve, incorporates a set of
avant-garde technical solutions guaranteeing absolute reliability.
The all black and white-clad Master Compressor Diving Lady Céramique is the diver’s watch for
women who refuse to choose between sport and seduction, refinement and exploits. To
successfully handle the multiple activities of their daily lives, they need a professional instrument
with a face equally suited to the demands of deep-sea diving and to those of a romantic tryst.
Admirably reflecting the nature of contemporary women, the new Master Compressor Diving
Lady Céramique marries innate presence and outstanding performance, since technical prowess
and aesthetic elegance are inextricably entwined within the Jaeger-LeCoultre philosophy.
