The V+-Factory Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Geographic is a men’s automatic world-time watch that embodies a blend of sporty elegance. Inspired by the classic design of the vintage Memovox Polaris, it features a robust 42mm stainless steel case with a brushed finish.
1️⃣ In-house developed integrated Cal.939 automatic movement: Functions match the original, offering stable and reliable timekeeping accuracy. It features an extended power reserve, eliminating the need for frequent manual winding. The sapphire crystal case back reveals a movement beautifully finished with perlage (circular graining) and Côtes de Genève (Geneva stripes), offering great visual appeal.
2️⃣ World-time system with intuitive operation
The outer ring of the dial displays the names of 24 major global cities.
Three practical functions combined in one:
- 9 o’clock position: Power reserve indicator—check the remaining running time at a glance.
- 6 o’clock position: Second time zone display with a 24-hour day/night indicator—distinguish between day and night in the other time zone to avoid disturbing others with late-night calls.
- A comprehensive time zone system that supports Daylight Saving Time adjustments—ideal for business travelers who frequently fly internationally.
3️⃣ Exceptional dial craftsmanship and nighttime utility
- Gradient grey dial featuring multiple finishes, including sunray brushing and perlage. All hour markers and hands are fully coated with Super-LumiNova, ensuring clear legibility in low-light or dark conditions—highly practical for outdoor activities.
4️⃣ Water resistance up to 100 meters. Far exceeding the 30-meter “splash-proof” rating of standard dress watches, it is suitable for hand-washing, rain, and swimming. There is no need to frequently remove the watch during daily activities, thereby reducing the risk of accidental knocks or scratches.
Stylistic uniqueness: It fuses the exquisite craftsmanship of high-end watchmaking with the aesthetic of a sports watch, balancing prestige and practicality. It avoids the overly rugged look of pure diver’s watches while steering clear of the stiffness often associated with formal dress watches.
