Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Diving Automatic Navy SEALs Watch

I was really excited about this watch when I got to play with it at SIHH 2010. Jaeger-LeCoultre has been working with the US Navy SEALs for a while making watches to suit their needs.

The alarm version pictured is my favorite, but there is also a GMT chronograph or world timer with depth gauge models [...]
