It has a sapphire scratch resistant crystal and patented locking dual crowns at the 2 and 4 o'clock positions; they are equipped with external butterfly collars that turn 1/2 turn clock-wise & counter clock-wise to insure the gaskets have a watertight closure. A white arrow indicates the crown is secure/water resistant, and a red arrow indicates the crown is non-secured. The dial is black with luminous trapeze hands, an outer luminous dot minute/second track, Arabic hour numeral indexes at 9 and12 o'clock, and arrow index hour markers.

A second time zone subsidiary dial is between the 6 and 8 o'clock positions (with a Quick Set Adjustment crown), and there is a diurnal/nocturnal register at 9 o'clock. Regular time & date functions are set by the bottom crown. A world time arc display with major capitols is at 6 o'clock. It's water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet), and there is a 43-hour power reserve. The 13.9mm thick case, dial, and movement are all signed. This Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor Geographic Q1718470 has a mechanical automatic self-winding Jaeger LeCoultre caliber 939 movement that's rhodium-plated, with fausses cotes embellishment. It's constructed with a straight-line lever escapement, a shock absorber mechanism, and a monometallic balance that's adjusted to 6 positions. It includes a self-compensating flat balance spring, and a central hacking seconds mechanism. The case, dial, and movement are all signed. The mechanism oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz). The Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor Geographic Q1718470 was introduced in the 2000's; the first Geographique debuted in 1990. It was a dual time-zone watch with a large aperture making it easy to select a second city time zone with its own hour and minute display. The first master control watches debuted in 1992, and the master compressor was introduced in 2002 – a new design based on the company's groundbreaking Memovox Polaris of 1965.

I have been dealing with European Watch Company for over ten years, and have purchased several wrist watches, including IWC, Patek Philippe, Rolex, and Jaeger-LeCoultre. They were not only fairly priced but arrived in like-new condition, fully warranted by European Watch Company. This company has an attentive, knowledgeable staff, a large inventory, and is a genuine pleasure to deal with.

Just completed my 7th transaction with EWC and for the 7th time the transaction was smooth, flawless and quick. Joshua is quick to respond to any e-mails and answer any questions. Ashley knows how to complete the necessary paperwork to avoid any delays at Customs as I am located in Canada and all paperwork needs to be completed perfectly which she is an expert at. You only want to deal with the best and the team at EWC is the best. There is a Yiddish word to describe the people at EWC and that word is mensches which translates to people of integrity and honour.

After a lengthy search I located the Patek Philippe I desired at EWC, but the decision to make a high dollar purchase over the internet was a difficult one. Through numerous emails with Justin and looking at reviews of EWC I made the decision to proceed and I am now ECSTATIC. The watch is exactly as described and pictured. It was perfectly packaged and shipped FedEx overnight. My watch collection now includes the watch I have been seeking for over a year.In summary, you can deal with the EWC staff with confidence. They are professional, honest and you will receive a quality watch which will put a smile on your face.

I live in San Francisco but the EWC website is the first place I check once I get an impulse for a particular watch. EWC's website is cozy and feels like home. I enjoy the photos, presentation, description and historical notes of each item and really like their next day delivery, so I stay loyal to them. Sometimes I must wait awhile for a watch to become available but can usually find anything I want. Then there are the watches you never knew you wanted until you see them here.

Dear EWC, I have just completed my very first purchase with your company: a mint Lange Datograph. Robert was extremely help throughout the process with the item delivered nicely packed to my Hong Kong address within days. The condition of the watch was absolutely mint as described and has exceeded my expectations, even under a loupe! I will be a return customer in no time. Well done!
