Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX5 World Chronograph LMP1

The Jaeger-LeCoultre LMP1 watch is a prestigious mechanical creation equipped with all functions essential for motor sports enthusiasts. The watch is an ultra-precise and legible chronograph that also offers a world time function. Emblematic orange and blue Gulf Oil colors are immediately recognizable details on the sporty dial. Two chronograph counters are positioned at 3 and 9 o’clock - in the racing context (and that’s what this watch is all about), these functions can be used to measure the hours and minutes that have elapsed since the start of the race.

Unusual dial motif reinterprets the air vent grilles on the Aston Martin LMP1 prototypes. It features an aperture in the bottom part, which is actually the movement operating indicator used to assure that the watch is running correctly. Date aperture is positioned in its lower section, while the deep blue city disc frames the face of a watch. The name of London, symbolizing the zero meridian on the disc, is changed to that of Aston Martin.



The watch comes in a ceramic case made of a blend of zirconium and yttrium, processed at temperatures over 2000°C. Ceramic, known for being very lightweight and resistant to shocks, is highly durable material and one of the favorite choices for sports watches. The watch is powered by mechanical automatic Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 752, crafted, assembled and decorated by hand. The watch is built on 41 jewels, it beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides 65 hours of power reserve. The 44-mm wide case in ceramics and titanium has a case-back engraved with Jaeger-LeCoultre and Aston Martin logos. It is water resistant to 50 meters.

This limited edition piece is available in 250 pieces under the reference number Q193J480. Each of the exemplars is mounted on black calfskin and Cordura strap, with a folding clasp.
