The Extreme Lab II is a watch to discover in the real, to fully understand it.
On the paper or in pictures, the watch looks big, ( it is, indeed ), and difficult to wear for most of the wrists ( which is not true ).
I wrote an on the wrist review past year about the Extreme Lab II Blue, which was unveiled in 2015. You can read it here:
This year, Jaeger Lecoultre comes back with a rose gold version.
The Blue from past year had blue accents, the rose gold has brown touches here and there.
Even the smooth ceramic bezel has been chromatically treated in brown.As well as the crown.
I will not review all the details of this watch, as you have the link above for that, but I will recall the main characteristics of the Extreme Lab II:
- Cal 780: 569 components, automatic movement
- Column wheel chronograph movement with vertical clutch.
- Digital instantaneous minutes chronograph.
- A pusher located in the crown which allows you to select the function you want to use: GMT, Time, or Neutral ( to wind the movement ).
- A radial power reserve indicator.
- An articulated strap and a technical buckle, to precisely adjust the length of the strap to your wrist.
A big surprise, I expected the watch to be very heavy due to its dimensions ( 46, 8 x 16, 5 mm ), it is, of course heavier than its titanium brother, but not unpleasant to wear.
Nicely played, JLC. The titanium was a cool watch, the rose gold version too.
Best,
Nicolas
