Master Compressor Extreme World Chronograph is a wristwatch by Jaeger-LeCoultre.

At the Geneva SIHH in 2005 Jaeger-LeCoultre presented this sporty chronograph from the series Master Compressor with newly developed automatic movement. A special cushioning system absorbs with its air cushion 50% of the costs associated with shocks and shock energy. The watch has a once-read time display of all 24 time zones and a quick-change system, by which the rubber and leather strap can be easily exchanged.

There are two versions: in titanium/stainless steel or in titanium/platinum (limited to 200 pieces).

Like all models from the Master Control series also this watch has to pass the strict 1,000 hours test in accordance with the company's internal guidelines.

Jaeger-LeCoultre won the Sports Watch Prize at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève for the Master Compressor Extreme World Chronograph in November, 2005.
