Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Date

Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced the original Memovox Polaris in 1968 as the first diver's watch outfitted with a mechanical alarm function. Its successor, introduced in 2018 and called simply the Polaris, leaves out the alarm but retains other notable elements from the original, including the case's dual crowns, one of which is used to operate a rotating inner bezel. The dial of the most recent model consists of three concentric circles with contrasting finishes: sunray in the center, graining on the outer circle with its vintage-inspired Arabic numerals, and opaline for the rotating inner rotating bezel flange --- and dazzles the eye with its lacquered, deep green double-gradient finish.
