Built around the three key principles of utilitarian functions, vintage design codes and chronometric performances, Jaeger-LeCoultre's Polaris collection is enriched by a new Polaris Date model characterised by a deep green dial that will be available exclusively through the boutiques and the online shop of the brand.

Launched in 2018, the Polaris Date drew inspiration from the 1968 Memovox Polaris with its trapezoidal indices mixed with four Arabic numbers, railway track for the minutes and Vanilla Super-LumiNova.

The new model comes with a lacquered dial featuring a mix of opaline, grained and sunrayed surfaces defining each key dial segment, from the mobile inner bezel ring to the minute track, thus enhancing readability.

The colour gradient ranges from light olive to verdant rainforest, taking on different shades according to the angle of reflected light.

A coat of translucent lacquer adds depth to the dial and makes the vanilla-tinted indexes to stand out even more. The aperture at 3 o'clock displays the current date.

Controlled by the crown at the 2 o’clock position, the mobile inner bezel permits the wearer to measure timing offsets or countdowns with great precision.

Measuring 42 mm x 13.92 mm and water resistant to 200 metres / 660 feet, the stainless steel case of the Polaris Date alternates satin-finished surfaces with polished chamfers on the case lugs and narrow bezel. The glass-box crystal recalls the Plexiglas dial crystals used in the original models.

The transparent caseback offers a view of the Calibre 899AB beating at the frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and offering a 70-hour power reserve

Matched to a green rubber strap equipped with a quick-change system, the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Date Boutique Edition ref. Q906863J has a price of Euro 10,100 (including VAT) / US$ 9,200 (excluding salex taxes). jaeger-lecoultre.com
