Jaeger-LeCoultre - MC Diving Auto Navy SEALs
































Jaeger-LeCoultre – MC Diving Auto Navy SEALs

Watches Featured in “Act of Valor”

Act of Valor, the new action film by Relativity Media opens February 24 in theaters and stars active-duty Navy SEALs, along with actors Roselyn Sanchez, Alex Veadov, Jason Cottle and Nester Serrano. Watch lovers will also note that the real-life SEALs whose exploits are featured in the movie are wearing Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Master Compressor Diving Automatic Navy SEALs watch.
Developed under a trademark agreement with the U.S. Navy, the model is engineered to withstand extremely harsh conditions and features on its dial a new form of Super-LumiNova that is particularly visible underwater or in the dark. The timepieces also contain an in-house Jaeger-LeCoultre automatic movement intended to provide a high degree of accuracy.





























Produced and directed by former Baja 1000 champion Mike “Mouse” McCoy and former stuntman Scott Waugh, and written by Kurt Johnstad (300), Act of Valor tells a story about a mission to recover a kidnapped CIA operative, which unexpectedly results in the discovery of an imminent global threat that an elite team of highly-trained Navy SEALs are dispatched to thwart.
Jaeger- LeCoultre provided the Master Compressor Diving Automatic Navy SEALs watches used in the film.

Roger Dubuis - Pulsion Flying Tourbillon Skeleton

















 Roger Dubuis - Pulsion Flying Tourbillon Skeleton

Transparency and delicacy are the order of the day for this Skeleton Flying Tourbillon model in the new Pulsion Collection from ROGER DUBUIS. Inspired by the world of the Venturer, the watches in this collection are distinguished by a totally unique sapphire crystal. Screwed down, it extends to the flanks of the case and serves as a bezel, while the numerals are engraved under the crystal and impregnated with luminescent material. This exceptional model’s titanium case houses a skeleton differential flying tourbillon movement. 















































Reliability, robustness, delicacy and transparency are combined in these new creations making up the Pulsion Collection by ROGER DUBUIS. Impregnated with the world of the Venturer, this new collection is immediately identifiable by its sapphire crystal directly screwed onto the case. This revolutionary structure enables the Arabic numerals to be engraved under the crystal and to be impregnated with luminescent material.












               



























In addition to this obvious feature common to all the models in the Pulsion Collection, Skeleton Flying Tourbillon watch in titanium combines all the dynamism and strength expected in a watch built for action with the openly exhibited complexity of contemporary Fine Watchmaking. With alternating polished and satin-finished surfaces in its complex structure, its 44 mm diameter titanium case houses the RD505SQ calibre. Designed, perfected and produced by the ROGER DUBUIS Manufacture, this hand-wound mechanical movement with 165 parts combines two of the Genevan watchmaker’s best-known attributes: the contemporary skeleton movement and the differential flying tourbillon. Treated in anthracite to match the titanium of the case, the RD505SQ calibre beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations / hour (3 Hz) for a power reserve of 60 hours. The Pulsion Skeleton Flying Tourbillon model in titanium is proposed with a black rubber strap featuring polished and satin finishings with a titanium folding buckle. 




Like all models produced by the Genevan watchmaker ROGER DUBUIS, The Pulsion Skeleton Flying Tourbillon model in titanium complies with all the latest requirements for the "Poinçon de Genève". This mark of quality, issued by the Canton of Geneva to a small number of manufacturers, represents an official guarantee that the watch and its functions operate correctly. It also certifies that its mechanical watch movement is made by hand, assembled and regulated in Geneva and that it complies with the strict requirements laid down for the watch manufacture. Roger Dubuis is the only watch Manufacture to produce 100% of its movements in accordance with the criteria of the "Poinçon de Genève".
