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.

History of Jaeger-LeCoultre
Jaeger-LeCoultre, founded in 1833 in Switzerland's Vallée de Joux, began as a small workshop established by Antoine LeCoultre. Driven by innovation and precision, LeCoultre's company quickly gained recognition for its high-quality timepieces and movement production. In 1903, a partnership with Parisian businessman Edmond Jaeger led to the formation of Jaeger-LeCoultre, combining Swiss watchmaking expertise with French elegance.
Throughout the 20th century, Jaeger-LeCoultre solidified its position as a leader in watchmaking innovation. The company's milestones include the creation of the world's thinnest pocket watch (1925), the self-winding Atmos clock (1928), the iconic Reverso watch (1931), and the Master Memovox alarm wristwatch (1950). Today, Jaeger-LeCoultre continues to operate as a true "Manufacture," designing and producing its timepieces entirely in-house, while maintaining its legacy of innovation and exceptional craftsmanship.
