Chronograph
True to the collection’s iconic spirit of adventure, the steel Polaris Chronograph is a functional watch with a sporty, elegant look. Following in the footsteps of the Memovox Polaris created in the 1960s, this model features a sophisticated blue lacquered dial. To achieve this gradation (from light-blue to midnight blue), which lends great depth to the color, more than thirty layers of varnish, followed by colored and transparent lacquer, are successively applied. Next comes the polishing, for the finishing touch. Equipped with the Calibre 761 with integrated chronograph mechanism - featuring a column wheel with vertical clutch for optimum accuracy - the Polaris Chronograph offers 65 hours of power reserve. Offered with a pair of interchangeable straps - one in metal, the other in blue rubber - it is designed to accompany you in all of your daily adventures.

DESIGN
A TIMED ADVENTURE
Offering great versatility, both as a casually elegant everyday timepiece and as a high-performing sports watch, the Polaris Chronograph is designed for maximum comfort on the wrist. Anchored by the clean, modern lines of the case, its dial is bold and visually striking, thanks to the richness of its lacquered surface.
THE RICHNESS OF BLUE
The Polaris Chronograph dial is bold and visually striking, thanks to the richness of its blue lacquered surface. Complex in construction, the dial is composed of a central disc, a middle ring and an outer ring that is marked with the tachymeter scale. On both the central disc and the hours ring, the colour of the lacquer is graduated from light to dark, adding great visual depth to the dial.
A FORCEFUL DESIGN
Well-balanced and highly wearable, its 42mm steel case features: taut lines, sharply curving lugs, a glass-box crystal, and an eye-catching mix of brushed and polished surfaces.
HERITAGE
A SPORTING HERITAGE BORN IN THE 1960s’
In the sixties, 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. This distinctive watch was a bold statement of intent from Jaeger-LeCoultre’s watchmakers and the same sense of dauntless ambition and thirst for adventure continues across the Polaris collection today.
FUNCTIONS
A HIGHLY PRACTICAL CHRONOGRAPH
The layout of the Polaris Chronograph dial is intuitive to read, featuring a central chronograph seconds hand to enable more precise reading of this key measurement. Balanced by the 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, the sub-dial at 9 o’clock serves as a running indicator with a small seconds display.
CALIBRE
A WATCHMAKING EXCELLENCE
The sapphire crystal case-back reveals the automatic movement, Calibre 761 – a quintessential example of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s approach to watchmaking that combines high performance with mechanical elegance. The fully integrated chronograph movement features a column-wheel chronograph mechanism with vertical clutch and offers a 65-hour power reserve.
STRAPS
A RELAXED ELEGANCE
The Polaris Chronograph, designed to adapt itself to all of life’s adventures, is naturally accompanied by a package of two interchangeable straps : a steel bracelet and a blue rubber strap textured with a ‘Clous de Paris’ pattern.
