Innovation
elliot55 continues his exploration of the Jaeger-LeCoultre and Aston Martin partnership, focusing on the groundbreaking AMVOX II. This installment highlights the innovative chronograph activation mechanism, which utilizes crystal pressure rather than traditional pushers, marking a significant advancement in watchmaking technology and design within the collaboration.
There are many variations of the AMVOX II release in a variety of metals.
The 50th Anniversary Racing Edition was released in 2010 in a limited run of 100 in titanium (w/open-face white dial-ref 192.T.430) and 100 in PVD titanium (w/open-face black dial-ref 192.T.400) as shown.
Note the seconds indicator just above 6:00 with the Aston Martin logo.
Here’s an example in platinum, reference 192.6.25:
The Amvox2 represents Jaeger LeCoultre's approach to contemporary sports timing, offered here in the Steel Black series configuration. This 44mm reference positions itself as a substantial automatic chronograph within the Amvox2 collection, distinguished by its monochromatic steel and black dial treatment.
The 44mm steel case houses an automatic movement and features a black dial beneath sapphire crystal protection. Water resistance extends to 100 meters, while a fixed bezel completes the case architecture. The steel construction and automatic movement provide the mechanical foundation for this chronograph reference.
This Steel Black series Amvox2 appeals to collectors seeking a modern Jaeger LeCoultre sports chronograph with substantial wrist presence. The 44mm case diameter and black dial configuration offer a contemporary alternative within the Amvox2 range, providing automatic chronograph functionality in a steel sports watch format. The combination of size, materials, and dial treatment positions this reference for collectors focused on modern Jaeger LeCoultre sports complications.
is my all time favorite AMVOX 2. Legendary. Thank you for the memories! Cheers, Filip

Such a meaningful innovation. Used to own Amvox1 but always lusted over those ones
Ti ou Ti pvd, no problem.
it seems that JLC quits making great stuff when the patent runs out. But creating this was something that most companies couldn't do, even if they wanted to, since JLC does case research, not just movement and dial R&D. "The Master Racing Chronograph" is what I would call it. And since there would be no co-branding, and the AmVox series paid for the R&D, start it off at around $12,000, but include the strap change, as on the VII. -Dean
... Now I dream of the car.
