Inspired by the 1968 Memovox Polaris, the Polaris collection has defined the spirit of sporty elegance at Jaeger-LeCoultre. Utilitarian functions, vintage design codes and modern standards of chronometric performance - these are the three characteristics that distinguish the Polaris, which now comes in a deep green dial, bringing a new touch of color to the everyday adventures of life. The Polaris Date drew inspiration from the 1968 Memovox Polaris, one of the most popular Polaris models of all time. In 2022, the Polaris Date is now available with a gradient deep green dial.
A lacquered, double-gradient dial with multiple textured finishes allows the Polaris Date to prioritise legibility without the slightest compromise in aesthetics. A balanced mix of opaline, grained and sunrayed surfaces clearly defines each key dial segment, from the mobile inner bezel ring to the minute track. The color gradient ranges from light olive to verdant rainforest, taking on different shades according to the angle of reflected light.
The mobile inner bezel, controlled by the crown at the 2 o’clock position, is a key feature of a true diver’s watch, permitting the wearer to measure timing offsets or countdowns with great precision. The Polaris Date features a transparent case-back, while being water resistant to 200 meters, making it equally at home in an urban cityscape or the pelagic depths of the ocean.
For maximum versatility in wear, the Polaris Date comes with a green rubber strap that is equipped with a quick-change system. The new green dial of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Date represents the all-terrain nature of the timepiece, emphasised by its rugged, matt-finished case construction. Its heritage shines through in the vanilla-hued Super-LumiNova indexes, suggestive of a well-aged aesthetic.
Within the 42mm steel case beats the latest-generation Calibre 899, with 70 hours of power reserve. Now, more than ever, the Polaris is the elegant sports watch for a life of adventure. The Polaris Date is a Boutique Edition and will be available exclusively from Jaeger-LeCoultre e-commerce for a month.
