Description
Jaeger LeCoultre ("JLC") is one of the great watch manufactures. 2005 was a spectacular year for JLC, as they introduced several new calibers and watch models. Like it always happens, the "release" of the watch and its appearance in the marketplace took quite a while. The watch is worth the wait.
The Extreme World Chronograph really is something special. The case is a combination of polished stainless steel and titanium, with dimensions of 46.3mm diameter by 16.3mm thick, and is water resistant to 100 meters. Most impressive is that JLC engineered and implemented a new shock absortion system for this case to protect the automatic chronograph movement. Front crystal is sapphire. Chronograph buttons and crown are compressor style, meaning they are completely protected from penetration of humidity, water and dust. Finally, there is a system for rapidly changing straps.
Beating inside is the automatic winding JLC Caliber 752 with 279 individual parts and 72 hour power reserve.
Dial is black with a revolving internal 24 hour bezel which displays local time in 24 reference cities throughout the world (one representative city for each of the world's 24 timezones). Thirty minute chronograph totalizer subdial at 3 o'clock and 12 hour totalizer subdial at 9 o'clock. Operating indictor above 6 o'clock and date window between 4 and 5 o'clock. The dial and hands have abundant luminous material for excellent night time legibility.
The Extreme World Chronograph is one of the very few real worldtime watches on the market, and this one is paired with a 12 hour chronograph, a very useful pairing of complications. Watch is new with box and papers.
