Catalogue Note
Jaeger-LeCoultre's Extreme Lab collection features daring and wildly modern designs that are a true departure from the rest of their design suite. The Master Compressor Extreme Lab 2 features a durable and light weight case made of a special titanium and vanadium alloy called TiVan 15, a material exclusive to the manufacture. The ribbed ceramic bezel is visually striking against the semi skeletonized dial which reveals a variety of special features incorporated within the caliber 781.
The inner bezel of the dial features a unique automobile inspired power reserve indication. The color red fills the track until the power reserve is full at up to 60 hours. At 12 o'clock, a jumping analog minutes register allows for easy reading for the chronograph function. Lastly, a selector adjacent to the date window allows the wearer to clearly activate the hands using a pusher through the crown. For the ease of the wearer, the left side case band also features a chronograph locking slide.
The Extreme Lab 2 offers everything a modern watch collector is looking for, from the totally in-house movement and the use of new materials, to the highly legible skeletonized dial and unique analog minute display.
