Jaeger-Lecoultre Extreme Lab II Blue. Golden memories.

Feb 23, 2019,05:00 AM
 

The Extreme Lab II is not a watch I own but a watch I dream to own, one day, after some horological priorities. 


This is one of the most original and sporty watches ever produced by Jaeger Lecoultre. And one of the biggest, too. 

You have:

A digital chronograph ( minutes ), 

A GMT, 

A radial power reserve,

A selector of the functions, by the crown, 

A Compressor Crown,

And a strong aesthetics. 




The good news? Despite its huge size, it is surprisingly wearable, due to its short lugs.



I had it for a " on the wrist review " in the summer 2015, and loved it. 

Best,

Nicolas

This is one the best and sports watches out in the market and to be honest a value proposition. This is on of my favorites. JLC is not doing good marketing on it.

You know how I feel about the EL2 Nico...

IMHO one of the best, if not the best, sport watches made from ANY manufacturer when it comes with overall presentation, functionality, durability, etc... It truly is a highly undervalued and underappreciated watch for what it is. Tim Mosso said it well w...

It is one of the best watches, period. I would love to own it one day. Wish it was at least 1mm shorter though
