The Amvox2 represents Jaeger LeCoultre's approach to contemporary sports timing, offered here in the Steel Black series configuration. This 44mm reference positions itself as a substantial automatic chronograph within the Amvox2 collection, distinguished by its monochromatic steel and black dial treatment.
The 44mm steel case houses an automatic movement and features a black dial beneath sapphire crystal protection. Water resistance extends to 100 meters, while a fixed bezel completes the case architecture. The steel construction and automatic movement provide the mechanical foundation for this chronograph reference.
This Steel Black series Amvox2 appeals to collectors seeking a modern Jaeger LeCoultre sports chronograph with substantial wrist presence. The 44mm case diameter and black dial configuration offer a contemporary alternative within the Amvox2 range, providing automatic chronograph functionality in a steel sports watch format. The combination of size, materials, and dial treatment positions this reference for collectors focused on modern Jaeger LeCoultre sports complications.
Let’s see photos of the whole beast 😁
996.2. Maybe not the fastest GT3, but no driver’s aids except ABS. Mine is named Rheum.
I have no racing/karting background, so any track-focused car would need to have all the support tech necessary
I can’t believe I’ve had mine for over 10 years!
They're easily spun. One definitely has to have a real understanding of driving with these cars. The new ones, 991 models and later, are incredible. You can be a total newbie who doesn't know how to drive and the traction control will save you from yourself every time. It makes you feel like you're an expert driver. But when I went from a 991 back to a 996/7 911, I was quickly humbled!
The responsiveness that some find intimidating is what I love. But I tracked an 86 Carrera for years and instruct with a specialty of working on car control on the skidpad since 2000. That’s said the 991 is a special beast!
