Jaeger-LeCoultre Unveils America-Exclusive Polaris Date Limited Edition
Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced its sport-luxury collection, the Polaris, at SIHH 2018 and has continued to expand the series ? inspired by a legendary 1968 divers’ watch with one of the earliest mechanical alarm functions ? since then. The newest member of the family is an 800-piece limited edition, sold exclusively in North America, that adds lush blue livery to one of the most period-accurate models, the Polaris Date.
Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Date U.S. Exclusive Limited Editiont
Like its predecessors, the watch’s aesthetic ancestry is evident in its distinctive dial structure, built upon three concentric circles with contrasting finishes: sunray in the center, graining on the outer circle with its vintage-inspired applied Arabic numerals, and opaline for the rotating bezel flange. (The flange and the second crown that operates it ? which in the original model were used to set alarm times ? together represent the other major feature that unites the Polaris family.) Whereas the Polaris Date from 2018 featured the same black dial as the 1968 original, the dial of this North America-exclusive iteration takes its color cues from 1970’s Polaris II reference, with shimmering shades of hand-lacquered royal blue and turquoise that are echoed on the new rubber Clous de Paris patterned strap. The dial features gradient colors of turquoise and royal blue.
The hands are large and luminous-coated, and the indices have a trapezoidal shape that echoes those on the origin...
