Polaris Date 42mm Gradient Blue Dial Q906868J | 2026 Like New Full Set - Active Warranty

The Story

Rooted in the legendary Memovox Polaris created in 1968 for saturation divers, the modern Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris collection bridges utilitarian tool-watch heritage with refined Haute Horlogerie finishing. Reference Q906868J represents the definitive modern standard within the line, distinguished by its multi-layered gradient deep blue dial that darkens toward the outer periphery. Designed with an iconic compressor-style dual-crown architecture, the upper crown operates an internal rotating bezel—preventing accidental underwater adjustments while maintaining clean, sleek case lines.

The Craft: 42mm Steel Architecture & In-House Calibre 899

The 42mm stainless steel case features an interplay of hand-finished textures, alternating between satin-brushed case flanks and mirror-polished chamfers that flow down to the sculpted lugs. The case is flanked by twin knurled crowns at 2 and 4 o'clock, establishing its unmistakable silhouette.

The gradient blue dial undergoes an exacting multi-step lacquering process:

• Center Disc: Sun-brushed shimmering royal blue.
• Middle Ring: Finely grained opaline texture with applied trapezoid indices.
• Outer Bezel Ring: Deep midnight opaline inner diving bezel highlighted with a sharp orange triangle marker.
• 3 o'clock: Crisp date window integrated into the track.

Powering the watch is the updated Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 899. Tested under JLC's rigorous 1,000 Hours Control standard, this 32-jewel self-winding movement delivers a modern 70-hour power reserve and operates at 28,800 vph. Supported by screw-down crowns and a solid caseback, it offers a professional water resistance rating of 200 meters (660 feet).
