Nicolas (amanico) revisits the Jaeger-LeCoultre Amvox II DBS, a significant release from 2007 that introduced an open dial to the Amvox II line. His post, featuring personal photography and vintage advertisements, prompts a discussion on the aesthetic and functional differences between the original Amvox II and its DBS evolution.

Launched in the arena in 2007, along with the Extreme Lab One and the Duometre à Chronographe, the DBS is the second opus of the Amvox II, which surprised the owners of the Amvox II, for sure. 

The DBS is an Amvox II with an open dial. 

Some pictures....

In great company, in the best winder I know:

DBS for me please 😜. Still one of the most fun and innovative chronographs, even to this day. Hoping JLC can once again show this type of innovation 🤷‍♂️

Here the sapphire glass is used as a chrono pusher. Push at 12 and at 6 o clock to start it, stop it and reset it to zero.
