Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Diving Chrono 1000M

About this reference

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Diving Chronograph 1000M (Reference 160.T.25) was produced between approximately 2007 and 2012 and is now discontinued. Collectors value this reference for its Grade 5 titanium construction and the proprietary compression key system, which uses a half-turn wing nut to ensure water resistance without the friction of screw-down crowns. It features the in-house Calibre 751D, an integrated column-wheel chronograph movement with a 65-hour power reserve. The dial includes a unique movement operating indicator at six o'clock, confirming the watch is running in low-visibility conditions. The 44mm case is rated for 1,000 meters of depth, a high specification for a mechanical chronograph. On the secondary market, this model typically trades between $6,500 and $9,500 depending on the inclusion of the articulated titanium bracelet or the diving rubber strap. A notable variant is the limited edition Navy SEALs version, which shares the same base architecture.
