Jaeger Lecoultre Amvox 5 Racing.
In 2010, Jaeger Lecoultre launched the Amvox 5. And some months later, the Racing Editions. I use the plural because there were 2 Racing Editions, the Limited Edition of 100 pieces, and the Paris Boutique, limited to 24 pieces.
The Paris Boutique is the blue one:
The case is 44 mm big, 15, 2 mm high, made of ceramic and titanium.
This Amvox 5 has an evident air de famille with the Amvox 2 Racing: The dial, the hands, the 2 sub dials... But the 5 lost THE specificity of the 2... The pivoting case and the absence of chrono pushers.
The 5 also " gained " a crown at 10 o' clock, to set the cities ring, because the 5 is a world time!
Some more pictures:
The problem of the 5, in my opinion? It always lived in the shadow of the 2. Unwanted, but not a bad watch!
Best,
Nicolas

You Know...
... These are both pretty cool. Of course, the orange one is much cooler, in my humble opinion. Problem here is that JLC could have taken away the stupid chrono pushers and put the actuation on the crystal, like both of our AMVOX 2's. Oh well, I'd still l...
