Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Date's Stunning Ocean-Grey Dial
The Polaris Collection
In the world of luxury timepieces, few names resonate with the same level of prestige and innovation as Jaeger-LeCoultre. Known for their craftsmanship and designs, Jaeger-LeCoultre continues to push the boundaries of watchmaking. Today, Watches of Switzerland is thrilled to introduce the latest addition to their Polaris collection—the Polaris Date, now featuring a new gradient ocean-grey dial. This timepiece captures the essence of sporty sophistication and showcases Jaeger-LeCoultre’s commitment to creating watches that are both functional and durable. Join us as we delve into the details of this watch, exploring its design, features, and what makes it a true standout in the world of horology.
The New Polaris Date: A Modern Classic
The latest addition to the Polaris collection is the new Polaris Date, a timepiece that epitomizes the essence of sporty sophistication for everyday adventures. This remarkable watch merges the practical functions and rugged durability of a sports watch with Jaeger-LeCoultre’s hallmark elegance and timeless design.
One of the most striking features of the new Polaris Date is its dial. Enhanced by skeletonized hands, bold Arabic numerals, and elongated trapezoid indexes, all coated in SuperLuminova for optimal legibility in low-light conditions, the dial captivates with its ocean-grey hue. Achieved through 35 layers of lacquer, it showcases a double gradation and three levels of finishing: an opaline flange, a grained index disk, and a sun-rayed center. Its in-house calibre 899 movement provides a 70-hour power reserve, allowing the wearer to enjoy their timepiece without interruption. The watch also features an easily interchangeable black rubber strap, making it perfect for everyday adventures.
The Polaris Collection
When Jaeger-LeCoultre revived the historic Polaris name in 2018, it redefined the modern sporty-elegant watch. The collection pays homage to the Maison’s iconic 1960s diving watches, featuring high-performing calibres and a distinct design that combines practicality and style. The Polaris collection is characterized by its off-centred crowns, taut lines, glass-box crystals, narrow bezels, and a dynamic mix of brushed and polished surfaces. These elements, along with the skeletonised hands, assertive Arabic numerals, and elongated trapezoid indexes coated in SuperLuminova, create a visually striking and highly legible dial.
In 1968, a new era was born with the launch of the Memovox Polaris, a watch housed in an unconventional large case, whose alarm function elevated the piece as an iconic diving watch.The intricate dial construction is enhanced by gradient colours and various decorative finishes such as opaline, graining, sunray-brushing, and snailing. These finishes are meticulously applied beneath a rich lacquer coating, adding depth and dynamism to the dials. The lacquering process involves multiple layers of colour and translucent lacquer, polished to a perfect finish.
