Date
In keeping with the codes of the Polaris collection, the lacquered dial of the Polaris Date watch features magnificent graduated shades of blue that catch the eye. Its three levels of finish—opaline bezel, grained index circle and sunray-brushed center—make it possible to delimit the different areas of the watch, highlighting each element: the orange triangle of the inner bezel, the hour markers and numerals with their assertive silhouette, and the skeletonized hands with their Super-LumiNova® tips. Under the sapphire case-back, the in-house Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 899 designed, produced and assembled at the Manufacture offers 70 hours of power reserve - an undeniable asset for a sports watch. The captivating and changing blue of the dial matches the blue of the rubber strap with its “Clous de Paris” pattern. To give the watch a more refined or casual style, the strap is easily interchangeable.

DESIGN
A CONFIDENT DESIGN
The 42mm case features the key Polaris design codes: taut lines, fine bezels, glass-box crystals, and an eye-catching mix of brushed and polished surfaces. A transparent sapphire crystal case-back and an open-worked winding rotor reveal the fine decorative finishes on the movement.
35 LAYERS OF LACQUER FOR A UNIQUE FINISH
The Polaris Date dial is of an impressive complexity to produce: the dial is first decorated with a grained and sunray finish, then 35 layers of different lacquers are applied to create the gradient colour and the depth of the dial. Finally, the dial is meticulously polished for a flawless result.
READABLE AT ALL TIMES
The signature gradient blue lacquered dial 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. Coated with Super-LumiNova®, the bold white indexes and Arabic numerals stand out with perfect clarity, during the day and at night.
STRAPS
A STRAP FOR EVERY ADVENTURE
The Polaris Date comes with a blue rubber strap that is equipped with a quick-change system and an interchangeable folding buckle. Within seconds, the strap can easily be swapped with a wide range of bracelet and straps.

FUNCTIONS
PURE RELIABILITY
Like the 1968 Memovox Polaris that inspired the collection, the Polaris Date features a rotating inner bezel, controlled by the crown at the 2 o’clock, allowing the wearer to measure timing offsets or countdowns. This useful function is completed by the date display at 3 o'clock.
The Polaris Date features a transparent case-back, while being water resistant to 200m, making it equally at home in an urban cityscape or the pelagic depths of the ocean.
CALIBRE
AN ATHLETIC SOUL
The Polaris Date is equipped with the high-performing Calibre 899, a new generation calibre offering a 70-hour power reserve and the latest innovations of the Manufacture. Featuring a sapphire case back, this window reveals the beautiful decorations of the movement: an open-worked rotor, Côtes de Genève, circular graining…
HERITAGE
A SPORTING HERITAGE BORN IN THE 1960s’
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. 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.
