Overview
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Automatic (ref. Q9008180) presents the collection's ocean-blue sunray, grained, and opaline dial in a 41 mm stainless-steel case paired with an integrated bracelet. Calibre 898E/1, an in-house automatic movement, powers the watch and reflects the Manufacture's long tradition of producing its own movements. The result is a sport watch that balances aquatic heritage with the refinement expected of the Vallée de Joux.
History
The Polaris name traces its roots to Jaeger-LeCoultre's original 1968 Memovox Polaris, a pioneering diving watch notable for its inner rotating bezel and triple-case acoustic system. The modern Polaris collection was relaunched in 2018, reinterpreting the archival design language for contemporary wearability while retaining the spirit of the original. The Q9008180 belongs to this revived generation, introduced alongside a broader family of Polaris references that span automatic, date, and chronograph complications.
