Jaeger Lecoultre Amvox 7: A redesigned Amvox 2?
Introduced in the catalog in 2012, unveiled a bit later in the year, this is an Amvox we didn't discuss very often.
Compared to the Amvox 2, you have many common points, such as the titanium case ( 44 mm ) and the concept: A pivoting case which allows to use the chronograph functions without pushers.
So, yes, this is a short way to say that the Amvox 7 is a re designed 2, with a new dial, inspired from the Aston Martin Vanquish front grill, and a crown which is re shaped, too.
Now, the big difference with the 2 is that the 7 offers a " double radial " power reserve. Totally wound, the 2 parts of the power reserve are becoming totally red, and go near 12 o' clock.
A video of the watch:
The radial power reserve is something we saw as soon as 2009, with the Extreme Lab 2, but the double power reserve is hitherto unseen.
ìt is a pretty cool looking watch, but I was expecting a superlative Amvox II, with a double pivoting case, to tell you the truth.
Top / Bottom for the Chronograph, Left / Right for another complication, such as a GMT, for example. Push on the left, you go GMT +1, push on the right, and you go GMT -1.
That was the Amvox 2 I was waiting for... But now, this will never happen, since the collaboration between Aston Martin and JLC is over...
What do you think of this Amvox 7?
Best,
Nicolas

Well.. Pretty much the same for me.. Happy with the Amv 1 In Green.. & the Amv 2 DBS with the partial open dial.. But..
.. I have to say the Amv 7 has a certain eclectic appeal: Like the auto-grill type dial, with this red 2-fold radial PR.. Was a bit tempted to also go for this one; but just for this feature and the exposed 2 subdials, it has quite a premium price differe...
Auto Gril? :)))
More seriously, a " primitive " Amvox II would be a very good choice... Best, Nicolas
I love your RI Heinz
and that shirt with it is super cool touch Over the rainbow Cheers D
Thx for kind looking, dear D !.. Yes, the green Kermit goes along well, with these green + colors shirt !..
.. Was lucky also, that it still has a practically original, almost flawless green strap, which has a great texture, also water repellent.. Thx again, my friend for your interest ! Best, hs
The elusive Amvox 7 :)
Have to say I quite like it! Do you know how many were made in total and how that compares to the 2?
A UBER-COOL watch, that besides the radial power-reserve...
included a flatter strap-change trigger than on the Compressor Chrono or the EWC/EWA. I like the power reserve - ala Tribute to Geophysic, but 1/2 as long, since the bottom of the dial is open. All-in-all, I very much like this watch and hope that the ver...
I really luv the Amvox7
and almost everything about it except the way it\'s priced LOL ...tried it once at the JLC boutique and it also feels very different from amvox2 and looks really cool ! Cheers !
In 2006, the Amvox 2 first generation, then, in titanium, was priced at 10, 500 Euros.
Almost 7 years after... The double. Food for thought... For the brands, in general. Best, Nicolas
AMVOX line proves the incredibly diversity of JLC.
AMVOX7 is an incredible example,of what a concept watch is.I think that the legibility does suffer a bit due to the barrage of lines but generally the visual effect of the watch is interesting. I must confess thought, that I have a soft spot on perfect A...
