Hodinkee has some great reporting and images of the new Polaris line from JLC: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/jaeger-lecoultre-polaris-memovox-limited-edition-introducing

I’m smitten with all the variants, but as an owner/fanboy of the Rolex Explorer, the no-date, time-only variant has me very excited.

Here’s a few wrist shots by HODINKEE:

 

A very nice looking world-timer/Chrono as well. Link to Hodinkee’s article is here: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/jaeger-lecoultre-polaris-chronograph-wt-introducing

 

Could they make the second time zone hand any harder to see?

 

Excellent point... awful decision as far as colour goes on that world timer.

 

Is it one of the two blue lines?

 

I think so. To be honest I hadn’t even noticed the upper one.

 

The blue no date variant

 

Great line. So many watches ... so little time... and money!

 

Feel free to enjoy all of what your eyes can bring you, through bright colors of you Omegaforum device...
What I spend most of my time doing...

 

The black no date is perfect. Wish I could afford one

 

These aren’t limited edition are they? Doesn’t mention it on Hondikee so I presume not.

 

It may be late, and my brain is getting slow, but what is the point of the inner rotating bezel/rehaut on the 3 handers?????

 

Is it not just a standard bezel for timing?

Put the arrow at the time you’re starting from and it’ll show you when it’s 15mins later?

 

Just like a super compressor cased diver with an internal rotating bezel, surely?

 

I need to because I just got my insurance statement with all my updates and it was a total WTF moment!

 

Maybe I'm just expecting more usefulness, but a numbered inner bezel would have given it dual-time functionality. Maybe I'm just being grumpy, but it seems to be a bit of flummery for no real benefit. On a divers watch, then yes (even if it's a legacy function), on a non-diver then I don't see the point. If I want to know when 15 minutes have elapsed, I'll work out when that happens on a standard watch, or if it's really crucial, I'll set an alarm on my phone

That having been said, it's a handsome looking watch (world timer aside). Not sure if I'd shell out the cash for one though.

 

Yes ...200 units I recall

 

I think it’s a nice way of providing a timing option on a three-handed watch without the bulkiness of a traditional diver’s bezel. It allows the watch to have a more formal look.

I personally like it... but I’ve always been a fan of the Super Compressor look, though... think Longines Legend Diver.

 

I think the Zenith Doublematic really knocked it out of the park all those years go, Date, Worldtimer, 30 min chrono and an Alarm!

 

well technically i spose you're right. you would knock it out of the park, in a cannon, strapped to a bomb.
