Jaeger Lecoultre Polaris Watches
Polaris, Jaeger-LeCoultre's diving heritage
The Polaris takes its name and style from the 1968 Memovox Polaris, a mechanical alarm watch designed for diving, produced in around 1,714 examples between 1965 and 1968. Redesigned in 2018, the current collection revives the codes of that historic piece (rotating bezel, triple-crown dial) in a contemporary execution, with 200-metre water resistance on several references.
Polaris: how to choose your reference?
- Everyday sports watch → three-hand Polaris
- Water sports, occasional diving → 200m references
- Chronograph function → Polaris Chronograph (subject to availability)
The Auberi view: the Polaris is the Jaeger-LeCoultre piece most requested by our sporty French Riviera clientele, as an alternative to a diving watch by Tudor or Breitling.
