Overview
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph reference Q9028471 is a 42 mm stainless steel sports watch that pairs the brand's in-house Calibre 751 with a striking black dial finished in both sunray and grained textures. Two counters animate the dial face, giving the watch a purposeful, legible layout that honours the Polaris line's heritage of robust aquatic utility. It represents the modern chapter of a lineage that traces back to the iconic Memovox Polaris of the 1960s.
History
The Polaris name was revived by Jaeger-LeCoultre in 2018 as a fully realised collection, drawing on the equity of the original Polaris diver introduced in the 1960s. The Q9028471 Chronograph entered the relaunched line as one of its more technically ambitious references, housing a manufacture movement in a sports-oriented case. Collectors have responded warmly to the model's balance between vintage inspiration and contemporary finishing standards, cementing its place as a cornerstone of the modern Polaris family.
