Jaeger LeCoultre Q2068570 Deep Sea Chronograph SS Black Dial

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Q2068570 Deep Sea Chronograph is a modern tribute to the house’s 1959 Memovox Deep Sea, carrying forward the brand’s legacy of diver-inspired chronographs. Released circa 2013, this reference pairs a robust 42 mm stainless steel case with a striking black dial, evoking vintage style while integrating contemporary engineering. Inside beats Jaeger-LeCoultre’s in-house automatic Caliber 758, celebrated for its 65-hour power reserve and crisp chronograph action—a movement revered for reliability and technical refinement. The watch balances historic cues such as the luminous hour markers and bold, legible layout with subtle dial texturing, catering to those who appreciate horological heritage without sacrificing function. Rated for depths up to 100 meters, it is well-suited to recreational diving, although collectors recognize it more for its significance within the lineage of Jaeger-LeCoultre sports watches. The chronograph complication highlights both a utilitarian design ethos and the maison’s commitment to mechanical precision. Securely mounted on a black alligator strap, the Q2068570 remains sought after for its faithful retro character and understated sophistication, standing as an important milestone in JLC’s resurgence of the Deep Sea aesthetic. While not a limited edition, its focused production run adds to its collectible allure, particularly among vintage dive watch enthusiasts. Like New with Jaeger-LeCoultre box and papers dated 2017.
