Redefining
the modern sporty-chic watch since 2018, the Polaris collection has
been conceived for everyday adventures. In 2025, Jaeger-LeCoultre
enriches the collection with a Polaris Chronograph featuring a new dial
in the Maison’s signature Ocean grey lacquer.
WHEN ELEGANCE MEETS ADVENTURE
Deftly balancing the robust capabilities
and practical functions of a sporty watch with Jaeger-LeCoultre’s
signature elegance, the Polaris line pays direct homage to the Maison’s
emblematic diving watches of the 1960s, capturing their sporting spirit
and reinterpreting their vintage appeal in elegant and confidently
contemporary style.

With
the versatility of both a casually elegant everyday timepiece and a
high-performing sports watch, the
Polaris Chronograph is designed for
optimal comfort on the wrist. Well-balanced and highly wearable, its
42mm steel case features the key
Polaris design codes: taut lines,
sharply curving lugs, a thin bezel, a glass-box crystal, and an
eye-catching mix of brushed and polished surfaces. The large crown – a
signature of the
1960s model that inspired the contemporary
Polaris line
– and robust pushers are designed for better grip and ease of use.
OCEAN GREY LACQUER ADDS FRESH ALLURE TO THE SPORTY DIAL
Anchored by the clean, modern lines of
the case, the new ocean grey dial is bold and visually striking, thanks
to the richness of the lacquer and the contrast of bright orange details
that speak to the chronograph’s sportier side.

Complex
in construction, the dial is composed of a central disc, a middle ring,
to which the hour markers are applied, and an outer ring that is marked
with the tachymeter scale. Sunray brushing on the central disc creates a
subtle contrast with the smooth gloss of the hours ring; on both
sections, the colour of the lacquer is graduated from light to dark,
adding great visual depth to the dials.

The
lacquering of the dial components is a lengthy and exacting process,
with each layer of coating being applied manually. It begins with the
application of a clear coat of varnish, followed by four layers of
colour. Then a layer of black is applied to create the gradient effect.
The challenge lies in controlling both the shade and the gradient, so
that the two main sections of the dial match each other. This is
followed by
30 coats of translucent lacquer, to add depth and richness.

The layout of the
Polaris Chronograph dial is timeless and 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 animates the dial with a
running seconds display. The circular graining of these sub-dials adds
more visual interest, contrasting with the glossy central dial and the
textured finish of the hours ring.

Orange accents draw the eye to the
key indications and add dynamism to the overall composition. In keeping
with the contemporary
Polaris design codes, skeletonised hands allow
greater visibility of the indications and bold trapezoid-shaped indexes
balance the fine detail of the chronograph displays. Luminescent coating
on the indexes, numerals and the tips of the hands enhances legibility
in all light conditions – an essential attribute for an adventure watch.
HARNESSING A LEGACY OF 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. Powered by twin barrels, the fully
integrated chronograph movement features a column-wheel chronograph
mechanism with vertical clutch and offers a 65-hour power reserve.

The
fine finishing includes blued screws and
Côtes de Genève
decoration on the baseplate as well as on the signature open-worked
winding rotor bearing the ‘JL’ motif. The movement was designed,
produced and assembled by
Jaeger-LeCoultre at its Manufacture in
Switzerland’s
Vallée de Joux.

Underlining its versatile and sporty spirit, the
Ocean Grey Polaris
Chronograph is presented with two interchangeable straps – one in
blue-grey canvas and one in textured black rubber – enabling a change in
style and attitude in a matter of moments.
