Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Squadra Classic White Dial Rubber Ladies Watch Q7068720

Le Castellet (F), 11th April, 2010. Aston Martin and Jaeger-LeCoultre chose the Le Mans Series championship race on the Paul Ricard circuit to present their partnership's latest creation. The new AMVOX5 World Chronograph combines the power of style and innovation with refinement and performance, in a testimony to the core values shared by the two companies.
1430 hours ... with the race in full swing and Aston Martin Racing's LMP1 excelling in 2nd position, Aston Martin and Jaeger-LeCoultre revealed the first AMVOX timepiece to combine the chronograph function with a world time clock.

At approximately 1900 hours, Aston Martin Racing, defying the famous Mistral 1.800 metre (1.11846 mile) Straight, the only equal to the legendary Hunaudieres Straight on the Le Mans 24 Hours circuit, finished the last round of the 5.861 km (3.64185 miles)circuit.Le Castellet, 11 April 2010. The Aston Martin 009 LMP1 has crossed the line in second after a faultless eight hour race. As the second successive podium result for the Aston Martin Racing factory team this year, it once again proves the exceptional pace, reliability and durability of the marque's cars.

Drivers Adrian Fernández (MX), Stefan Mucke (DE) and Harold Primat (CH) drove competitively throughout, driving the production-based Aston Martin V12-powered LMP1 consistently as the fastest car on the circuit behind the first placed diesel. Completing 261 laps and therefore 1,511 km competitively in eight hours.

The first AMVOX to combine the chronograph and a world time clock
By selecting a city on the turning flange, instant visualisation of the time in any of the world's 24 time zones is possible at any moment. With a nod to the watch's automobile lineage, London is replaced by the town of Gaydon in Warwickshire, where Aston Martin's headquarters and factory are located.
With luminescent white indicators and numerals in the 270° display that has become a classic feature of the AMVOX collection, the partially open dial bears markings inspired by the radiator grille of a sports car. The time elapsed on the chronograph function is read on the central second hand and on the two 30-minute and 12-hour counters. The finishing touch is a movement operating indication that is visible through a dial opening at 6 o'clock, adorned with the famous Aston Martin winged emblem.

A splendid piece of mechanics, the Jaeger-LeCoultre 752 calibre that drives the AMVOX5 is exceptional in its precision and its resilience. In accordance with pure horological tradition, the chronograph, with its column wheel and vertical trigger, features a winding mechanism on lubricant-free ceramic ball bearings, a large variable inertia balance and laser-welded balance spring, all of which ensure its reliability.
This all-terrain calibre is inserted in a case made of high-tech ceramic combined with titanium and 18 carat pink gold. Completely integrated into the Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture, its production relies on some of the same innovative techniques and processes which are used in the aeronautical and medical sectors. Made by compacting yttrium oxides mixed with a binder and a small proportion of zirconium oxide under high pressure, the compound is then subjected to a temperature of 2,000°C. After fluoroscopic testing for homogeneity, the ceramic block is then shaped using special diamond-tipped tools. The intensely black case weighs much less than steel, yet is twice as hard, giving the AMVOX5 World Chronograph its infallible resistance.
The AMVOX5 World Chronograph will only be made in a limited series: 300 with a ceramic and titanium case, and 200 with a ceramic and 18 carat pink gold case.
A sure hit with car racing enthusiasts, two Racing models will be made in ceramic and titanium, with a black or white dial, each in a limited series of 100. Inspired by the performance of the meteoric LMP1 Aston Martin Racing prototype, these timepieces feature chronographic counters executed in carbon fibre, punctuated with a flash of orange on the world time disc, the chronographic second hand and the overstitching on the calfskin leather strap.
