About This Watch
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Date in green represents the collection's embrace of contemporary color trends while maintaining the design DNA established by the 1968 Memovox Polaris. The rich green dial features a sunray finish that creates beautiful light play across the surface, shifting from deep forest green in low light to vibrant emerald in direct sunlight. The 42mm case provides a slightly larger canvas than the standard Polaris Automatic, and the caliber 899/1 is one of JLC's most reliable and well-finished automatic movements. The date window at three o'clock adds everyday practicality without disrupting the symmetrical dial layout established by the trapezoidal markers and inner chapter ring. The stainless steel bracelet features alternating polished and satin-brushed links that catch the light attractively. At 100 meters water resistance, it handles everything from swimming to casual diving. The green dial variant has quickly become a collector favorite, appealing to those who want distinctive color in a luxury sports watch without resorting to the more common blue or black options. JLC's finishing and movement quality at this price point continue to offer extraordinary value, making the Polaris Date a strong alternative to more commercially recognized sports watches.
