Le Jour's Le Mans Chronograph
Le Jour's Le Mans Chronograph
Has anyone had time to see Le Jour's Le Mans Chronograph already?
The watch comes in eight nice dial, sub-dial, and bezel set-ups, or
combinations. With details like a 42mm stainless steel case, domed
sapphire crystals, 200m WR, recessed sunray, or matte sub-dials on
a fleet of dials, multiple bracelets, and ETA 7750 Automatic as well.
OceanicTime, and Le Jour with much more...

Re: Le Jour's Le Mans Chronograph
I like those - maybe not $1,400 worth of like - but they still look good

Not bad, Tom; but not a fan of those odd sub-dial markers.
Like the first and third versions.

I get the Gnomon emails and really like these. Remind me of Tudor Bit Blocks without the inflated costs. Only thing 8 don't like on all the LJ models is the clasp, seems cheap to me.

I like them. $1400 for a chrono doesn't seem bad.

these are very hot for the $$, just wish they were 40mm

Re: Le Jour's Le Mans Chronograph
I asked CS (today) if the same clasp is on both style bracelets; anyone know the answer?

At 17mm thicc, that's too much for me.
19.4mm on a nato.
I really liked the blue one.

Re: Le Jour's Le Mans Chronograph
It IS thick but lugs curve down nicely to same level as case back. My Sinn was 16.5 for a smaller case and I was with it. Mid case wasn’t too thick. I prefered that to the slab sided 15.9-16mm of the BB to be honestTerpits wrote:At 17mm thicc, that's too much for me.

But yeah a bit worried about the thickness to be honest. Though I’d never wear it on nato personally.probably canvas

Brand names aside this thing killed Tudor novelties from W&W 2021. Imagine if Tudor rolled these out last week. 5-year wait list minimum

Definitely have a Tudor way about them too, you're right ! ..I honestly did
not mean to tempt you. But definitely think one of these would fit perfectly
into your collection, and on your wrist.
Am so happy you liked them so much ! THX so much for giving your two cents !!!

Re: Le Jour's Le Mans Chronograph
I don't usually love the 7750 layout, but those are cool, especially the black with black chapter ring.
