Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your Jaeger-LeCoultre
watch, and thank you for your confidence.
Produced in partnership with the elite divers of the Ameri-
can armed forces, the United States Navy SEALs, this new
generation diving watch is distinguished by a case with
extreme high-pressure resistance. The completely innovative
Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic watch is equipped
with a mechanical depth gauge on the outer flank of the case,
with a clear hand display on the dial. In addition to depth
measurement, it has a multiple time-zone display. You need
only position a representative city in the window at 6 o’clock
for its time to be immediately displayed on a dial at 9 o’clock.
A genuine professional diving tool inspired by the equip-
ment of this special unit, the Master Compressor Diving Pro
Geographic Navy SEALs offers perfect readability thanks to
oversized and luminescent-coated numerals, hour-markers
and hands. The unidirectional bezel enables elapsed diving
time to be calculated using its luminous 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 influ-
ence of gravity, magnetic fields, impacts and ageing of the
oils. Watch accuracy is measured by rate regularity in a vari-
ety 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 specifica-
tions). 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).
Please note that leather straps are not suitable for water
spor ts.
It is essential to have your watchs water-resistance regularly
checked by an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer, and defi-
nitely before a period of intensive use.
The «1000 Hours Control» test
by Jaeger-LeCoultre
Jaeger-LeCoultre subjects each of its watches to the rigour-
ous “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, tem-
perature 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 posi-
tion (“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 sports. 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 transition from the “closed” to the “open” position, or
vice-versa, is performed 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. So in practice
it is possible to handle the crown when the key is in the
compressed gasket position. However, as mentioned earlier,
it is extremely inadvisable to make settings 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 settings on your watch.
The switch from the “closed” to the “open” position, or vice-
versa, is made by turning the key using the wing-nuts in the
direction indicated by the arrow(s).
Master Compressor Diving,
divers watches meeting the NIHS 92-11
(ISO 6425) standards
Master Compressor Diving line watches, which bear the
title “diving watches”, satisfy the requirements of the Swiss
Watchmaking Industry Standard (NIHS) 92-11, reproducing
the European standard ISO 6425.
Notice
As a precaution, please note the following two recommenda-
tions:
- You must not operate the crowns in water,
- You must not use Master Compressor Diving watches for
deep dives (diving with a gas mixture, in which the diver
spends alternating periods between the water and a pres-
surised chamber), or at a depth greater than that indicated.
Important notice:
Elementary rules for diving Diving with the Master
Compressor Diving Pro Geographic watch:
Please note the following points:
- Dives must be performed under your own responsibility,
and in accordance with the elementary rules of diving. There
are certain risks inherent in this activity, such as accidents or
unforeseen physiological reactions. You need to be a holder
of a diving certificate, or make the dive as part of diving
training dispensed by specialised professionals, and be fully
equipped for this activity to ensure your own safety. Sports
diving in special environments, known as “technical diving”,
requires special techniques and equipment (gas mixtures,
rebreathers, etc.) and a formal safety approach, which can
only be provided by diving professionals.
- Never dive alone; your watch is under no circumstances a
substitute for a diving professional.
- Always dive with at least two depth gauges (instruments
measuring depth), including one professional diving compu-
ter with electronic depth gauge. Diving computers indicate
multiple parameters such as the body’s nitrogen level, cal-
culate decompression stops or measure water tempera-
ture, etc. They will always be the most suitable technology
for providing accurate multi-purpose tools for diving. It is
utterly inadvisable to use the Master Compressor Diving
Pro Geographic watch without a diving computer as a pri-
mary tool. Furthermore, any use of a mechanical depth
gauge requires perfect knowledge of the laws governing
the use of diving tables, as the safety rules applicable for
these are the same as for diving with a computer.
- Any opening or technical service manipulation of the
Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic watch case
must be verified by an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer.
Furthermore, before any period of intensive use, your
watch must undergo a check-up by an authorised Jaeger-
LeCoultre retailer.
Maximum depth and water-resistance
The Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic watch is
water-resistant to 30 atm (approximately 300 metres).
The depth gauge on the Master Compressor Diving Pro
Geographic watch indicates depths from 0 to 80 metres.
Please note that taking the watch down below 80 metres
does not pose any danger to the depth gauge mechanism. In
this case, its hand stops just after the ‘80’ mark on the scale.
The mechanism has a stop that halts the indicator in this posi-
tion. Once the watch returns to a depth of 80 metres, the
indicator hand will start moving again, according to the depth
measured, up to zero metres.

Movement
Time functions
By virtue of a mechanical coupling with the international GMT
system 24 time-zone disc, the Master Compressor Diving
Pro Geographic watch has a double time display, which, by
a simple adjustment on the sub-dial at 9 o’clock, can indicate
the time in one of the world’s 24 time-zones, selected on the
24-city disc.
So this watch has a mechanical display featuring:
- The “local” hour, minute, and date (for your place of
residence).
- The city selected for the second time-zone.
- The hour in the second time-zone selected, with a 24-hour
indicator.
The Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic Navy SEALs
watch is mechanically programmed according to the interna-
tional Greenwich Mean Time system (GMT).
Under this system, the world is divided into 24 time-
zones, each 15 degrees longitude in width (see map below).
In each of these time-zones, the official time is the same; the
official time varies by one hour when you pass between time-
zones.
Starting from the Greenwich meridian, time-zone centre 0,
12 zones have been defined ranging from +1 to +12 hours
Eastward and 12 zones ranging from 0 to -11 hours West-
ward.
Jaeger-LeCoultre has personalised each of these time-zones
with the name of a city, which is displayed in the window
located at 6 o’clock on the dial of your watch.
So as not to compromise the overall legibility, the city disc
does not show the few regions in which the official time dif-
fers by a fraction of an hour (e.g.: India, Iran, Nepal).
Starting the watch
Crown A
Turn the compression key to the “open” position in the direc-
tion of the arrow. Crown A will then be in position 1.
A few clockwise turns of the crown will suffice to start the
watch. The small black disc with a luminous bar through it, in
the 5 o’clock position, will then start moving. This function,
which completes one revolution in 60 seconds, acts as an
operating indicator to demonstrate that the watch is running.
The watch will then automatically wind up when you wear
it. Please note that the crown does not lock on winding, even
when the watch is fully wound.
Once the operation is complete, turn the compression key to
the “closed” position in the direction of the arrows.

Order of settings
The settings on your watch must be made in the order indi-
cated below, as per the following instructions:
1) Set the time-zone hour and minute hands
2) Set the date and local hour hand
Set the second time-zone hour and minute hands
This first setting consists of adjusting the city disc, and the
second time-zone hour and minute hands to provide the
mechanism with the reference parameters.
1
st
operation: setting the city disc (select local city).
Crown B
Turn the compression key to the “open” position in the direc-
tion of the arrow.
Pull crown B out to position 2.
Turn the crown clockwise or anti-clockwise, so that the
window at 6 o’clock opposite the triangular marker displays
the city corresponding to the time-zone that you are in (your
local city).
Once the operation is complete, push the crown back into
position 1 and turn the compression key to the “closed” posi-
tion in the direction of the arrows.
2
nd
operation: setting the second time-zone hour hand (dial at
9 o’clock) and local time minute hand.
Crown A
Turn the compression key to the “open” position in the direc-
tion of the arrow.
Pull crown A out to position 3.
The movement will then be locked (the operating indicator
will stop).
Turn the crown clockwise. Note: the local hour hand and date
are automatically driven by this operation, but their final set-
tings will be made independently, as per the instructions for
the next stage.
As you turn the crown, keep an eye on both the second
time-zone hour hand (in the sub-dial at 9 o’clock) and the
main minute hand.
Move the hour hand in the sub-dial forward to obtain the
local time, while observing the 24-hour display system, oppo-
site the small triangle in the 9 o’clock position. Keep turning
the crown to move the main minute hand to the desired local
time position.
Once the operation is complete, push the crown back into
position 1 and turn the compression key to the “closed” posi-
tion in the direction of the arrows. The watch will then start
running again.
Note: daylight saving time / winter time
Perform the two operations above to correct the second
time-zone for the summer time (DST) and winter time
changeovers.
The configuration of the city disc corresponds to a relative
time-zone position in winter time (legal time).
For a correct second time-zone reading during summer time
(DST), you need to consider the geographic location of the
country in question, i.e. whether it is in the Northern or
Southern Hemisphere.
The Northern Hemisphere countries which apply daylight
saving time do so between March/April and October:
- In Europe (except Iceland): between the last Sunday of
March and the last Sunday of October.
- In North America: between the first Sunday of April and
the last Sunday of October.
Some Southern Hemisphere countries also apply the hour
change, but on different dates. The three cities concerned
which are shown on the time-zone disc of your watch are
Rio de Janeiro, Auckland and Sydney, for which daylight saving
time runs from October to February or March (according to
annual decrees).
Setting the local date and hour hand
The Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic watch has a
local hour hand quick-setting function, which is also used for
setting the date.
In position 2, crown A can move the local hour hand in one-
hour jumps, while driving the date (in both directions). The
minute hand keeps running, maintaining an accurate watch
setting.
1
st
operation: setting the date
Crown A
Turn the compression key to the “open” position in the direc-
tion of the arrow.
Then pull crown A out to position 2.
The date can be corrected by one day by turning the local
hour hand through two revolutions of the dial (the hour hand
makes one-hour jumps).
Turn the crown forward or backward (depending on the
closest distance between the indicated date and the desired
date), and turn the hour hand as many times as necessary
until the desired date is displayed.
Keep the compression key in the “open” position to go
directly to the 2
nd
setting below, for the hour hand.
Master CoMpressor Diving pro geographiC navy seaLs
- English 4/9
2
nd
operation: setting the local hour hand
Crown A
The compression key is still in the “open” position.
Then pull crown A out to position 2.
Move the main hour hand (local time) forward or backward
past midnight to bring it to the desired time, in order to take
account of the date indicator:
- You have turned the crown clockwise: if the date moves
forward when the hands pass midnight, you are moving
into the morning.
- You have turned the crown anti-clockwise: if the date
moves backward when the hands pass midnight, you are
moving back into the evening.
Once the operation is complete, push the crown back into
position 1 and turn the compression key to the “closed” posi-
tion in the direction of the arrows.
Correcting the local time setting when travelling and chang-
ing between summer time/winter time
Go directly to the 2
nd
operation to quickly set your watch for
simple hour changes (in cases not involving minute or date
changes). For example, to set the time for your new local
time-zone when travelling, or changing between summer time
and winter time.
Make sure to turn the compression key to the “open” posi-
tion in the direction of the arrow first, whenever you want to
change the local hour hand in this configuration.
Selecting the city for automatic time display of the second
time-zone
Following the above settings, the hour hand in the second
time-zone dial will indicate the same time as the hour hand
in the main dial. This phenomenon is normal, since the dial at
6 o’clock indicates the city in your local time-zone. The city
selection function is operational.
NB: before selecting the city, you need to ensure that the syn-
chronisation crown (crown A at 2 o’clock) has been pushed
back into position 1 (not pulled out). Failure to comply with
this order might damage the correction mechanism.
Crown B
Turn the compression key to the “open” position in the direc-
tion of the arrow.
Then pull crown B out to position 2.
Turn crown B clockwise or anti-clockwise, to display the city
desired for the second time-zone at 6 o’clock opposite the
triangular marker. The hour for the selected time-zone will
then be displayed automatically in the sub-dial at 9 o’clock,
directly with 24-hour accuracy.
Case functions
Diving bezel
The Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic watch is
equipped with a unidirectional rotating bezel (i.e. one that can
only be turned anti-clockwise), with a mark every minute.
It can measure a particular time using the luminescent white tri-
angular marker as a reference point in relation to the hour hand
or minute hand.
To use the diving bezel, you need only grip it with two fingers
and turn it anti-clockwise to the desired position.
Mechanical depth gauge
Please consult the explanations and advice beforehand in the
chapter ‘Mechanical depth gauge on the Master Compressor
Diving Pro Geographic watch’ in the introduction section.
Operating underwater
No action is required on your part is required for the depth
gauge to work underwater. It reacts to the water pressure
and transmits the depth information to the hand on the dial
via a transmission circuit, which includes the two components
known as the “rack” and “central pinion”, which you can see
via the openworked dial.
The display on the dial is indicated by the blue hand on a
logarithmic scale from 0 to 80 metres. This is graduated for
each metre from 0 to 50 metres, then every two metres from
52 to 80 metres.
Operating out of water
The depth gauge function was created to be easily visible
even in a non-aquatic environment. At any time, you can
lightly press on the depth gauge membrane head, to observe
the movement of the hand according to the force of the pres-
sure. You can increase the pressure until the maximum hand
reading is reached (80 metres). The hand will return to its
‘zero’ position when you release the pressure.

Side opening
An opening on the side of the depth gauge compartment
reveals the membrane, which reacts to water pressure.
It should be noted that inside the compartment the mem-
brane itself is completely water-resistant. Via the opening,
water enters the compartment, in a confined space on the
left-hand side of the membrane (when the watch is viewed
from the front); but water does not penetrate inside the
membrane, i.e. inside the mechanism, the movement or the
watch.
Recommendations
To ensure that the depth gauge works properly, follow the
recommendations below:
- Whenever you have used your watch underwater, rinse it
under a gentle flow of clean water (tap water for exam-
ple) so that water gets into the depth gauge compartment.
Then tilt the watch with the depth gauge opening down-
wards to get rid of the water and any small residue.
- To avoid damaging the depth gauge membrane, make
sure to avoid inserting into the opening any object that
could come into contact with the membrane and deform
it. However, if this occurs, consult an authorised Jaeger-
LeCoultre retailer for a check-up of the mechanism.
Adjusting the wristlet
Note: the wristlet illustrations below may not correspond either
to 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 the 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).
Lift up the clasp cover so
as to release the hinged
part of the wristlet section
from its groove (fig. 2).
Fig. 2 Long position
Push down the hinged
part of your wristlet sec-
tion and place it in its
groove, facing the oppo-
site way to its initial posi-
tion (fig. 3).

Customer service at Jaeger-LeCoultre
The movement of a mechanical watch requires regular
maintenance (servicing, lubrication, etc.) to ensure a long
operating life. Should your watch need servicing or repairs,
please send it, together with its warranty certificate, to the
authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer who sold it to you.
Alternatively, you may send it to one of the official Jaeger-
LeCoultre Service Centres listed at the end of this booklet,
or to any authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer of which a list is
available on the «www.jaeger-lecoultre.com» website.
Our official Service Centres employ watchmakers trained at
the Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture and possess the tools and
parts necessary to repair and maintain all Jaeger-LeCoultre
watches and clocks.
In certain cases, especially for operations requiring special
tools and parts, the Service Centres will send your watch to
the Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture in Switzerland to have the
necessary work carried out.
In any case, or if you live in a country which is not indicated
in our lists, please do not hesitate to contact directly
Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre in Switzerland, Rue de la
Golisse 8, 1347 Le Sentier, telephone +41 21 845 02 02,
fax +41 21 845 05 50, which will inform you of the
procedure to follow. We also invite you to visit our website
