Chronograph
The Polaris Chronograph features a superb signature dial in lacquered grey. From the lightest to the darkest, the gradation of multiple nuances is achieved thanks to a process that consists of applying almost 40 layers of varnish followed by colored and transparent lacquer to the dial before the final step: polishing. In its 42 mm steel case, the dial has three levels of finishing: an internal opaline bezel, a grained circle for the hours and indexes, as well as a sunray-brushed center. Perfectly legible, the chronograph stands out for its iconic attributes: central second, tachymeter and 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock. Highlighting the Maison’s watchmaking expertise, its Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 761 features an integrated chronograph mechanism, equipped with a column-wheel with vertical clutch. The Polaris Chronograph promises 65 hours of power reserve - very welcome for a watch built for adventure. Graced with sporty and functional elegance, it comes with a beige fabric strap and another in black rubber.

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.
A TRENDY DIAL
The warm grey dial accentuates the sporty side of the Polaris Chronograph without any compromise on elegance. The process of achieving this gradient colour is very complex. Composed of almost 40 steps, the lacquer finish adds depth and richness to the dial. Finally, the luminescent coating on the indexes, numerals and hands enhances legibility in all light conditions.
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 beige canvas strap and a black rubber strap textured with a ‘Clous de Paris’ pattern.
