Jaeger-LeCoultre – POLARIS Chronograph WT Titanium

Jaeger-LeCoultre – POLARIS Chronograph WT Titanium 44mm

THE NEW JAEGER-LECOULTRE POLARIS COLLECTION

INSPIRED BY HISTORY AND CONTEMPORARY SPORTING ELEGANCE

Inspired by the iconic Memovox Polaris watch from 1968, Jaeger-LeCoultre has developed a new collection to join the brand’s existing pillars.

Today’s man is someone who does it all. Always open to the new and untried, he finds surprising and innovative ways to make the most out of his life. For him, it’s about the journey, not the destination, and the experiences along the way.

Today’s man doesn’t have a schedule he has to keep; he makes his own plan. For his lifestyle, he needs an elegant yet sporty watch that can do it all, one that keeps up with his active pace: the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris.

POLARIS CHRONOGRAPH WT

Perfect Traveler

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph WT offers it all – an in-house chronograph and the useful world time complication - perfect for the world traveler. It not only features the two chronograph pushers, but it has an additional crown at 10 o’clock to control the rotating city disc, which you can set to the city you are in, and immediately see the time in 23 other cities around the world.

Turning the crown at 10 o'clock on the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph WT watch enables positioning of the indicated time on the day/night disk in correspondence with the cities. Reading the time in 24 of the world's cities simultaneously is effortless. This ingenious mechanism takes into account cities that apply winter and summer time with a small white triangle that shifts the indicated time by one hour. World time watches can be a struggle to read, which is why the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph WT is a generous 44mm, which enhances its readability.  Opaline, graining and sunray brushing: the three finishes of the black dial give the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph WT watch profound visual depth. The case itself features an alternating polished finish on the bezel and edging, and a brushed finish on the case band and flat surfaces of the lugs. The 44-mm titanium case of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph WT, or World Time, timepiece features two complications: a chronograph with twin counters and the time in the world's 24 key cities.

The watch is less than 13mm thick and the case is titanium, a light yet highly resistant material that makes the model comfortable on the wrist, and has a warmer tint than steel. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph WT watch is fitted with an extremely accurate and aesthetically pleasing movement, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 751.

In addition to the patinated calfskin strap with tone-on-tone top-stitching, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph WT  timepiece can be adorned with additional calfskin and alligator straps in different colors.
