Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Memovox

This one-owner Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Memovox was purchased new by the vendor from an authorised dealer. The watch is presented with a manual but does not include the original box or warranty papers. Some light marks and swirls are visible on the case and clasp and the watch’s condition appears consistent with the vendor’s ‘A’ grading. 

In the spirit of Jaeger LeCoultre's trailblazing Polaris from the 60s, this Master Compressor Memovox incorporates a mechanical alarm function into its 41.5mm rose gold case. The watch maintains a surprisingly dressy profile considering its tool-watch credentials, which include an internal rotating dive bezel and 100m of water resistance. JLC’s Compressor crowns at 2 and 4 o’clock integrate a clever mechanism and only require one half-turn to lock and are easy to grip. 

A mix of highly legible elements are incorporated into the dial, reminding the wearer of the watch’s diving credentials. Large contrasting Arabic numerals and diamond-shaped markers indicate the hours with splashes of red giving the watch a touch of sporty character. 

Internally, the watch is powered by JLC’s tried and tested calibre 918 which delivers 45 hours of power reserve. The gold medallion embedded into the case back signifies that the movement has been through the watchmaker’s stringent 1000-hour test for chronometry, power reserve, winding efficiency and toughness.
