Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Automatic Date Stainless Steel / Green Double Gradient / Rubber Ref. Q906863J

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Date Q906863J debuted in 2022. This reference is part of the contemporary Polaris collection, which draws inspiration from the original 1968 Memovox Polaris. It features a 42mm stainless steel case with a thickness of 13.92mm, combining polished and brushed surfaces. Water resistance is rated at 200 meters, aided by a screw-down crown and sapphire crystal with box-type profile. The gradient green dial is constructed in three distinct finishing zones: an opaline inner bezel, a grained middle track for the hour markers, and a sunray-brushed center. Super-LumiNova is applied to the faceted Arabic numerals, hour markers, and skeletonized baton-style hands. The inner rotating bezel is operated via the crown at 2 o’clock, allowing for straightforward timing functions. Power comes from the 899A/1, a self-winding movement developed and assembled in-house. It offers a power reserve of 70 hours and operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. Decorative elements include Côtes de Genève and a skeletonized winding rotor, all visible through the transparent sapphire case back. This version is fitted with a green rubber strap featuring a Clous de Paris pattern and secured by a stainless steel folding clasp. The strap is equipped with Jaeger-LeCoultre’s interchangeable system for quick and tool-free changes.
