In 2025, Jaeger-LeCoultre elevates its Polaris collection with the introduction of the Polaris Chronograph Ocean Grey, a bold and modern interpretation of the Maison’s signature sporty-chic timepiece. Combining refined elegance with robust performance, the new model features a visually arresting lacquered dial and a high-performance chronograph calibre, designed for those who live life in motion.
Blending contemporary sophistication with the spirit of 1960s diving watches, the Polaris Chronograph balances heritage design with innovation. The 42mm stainless steel case presents a well-proportioned silhouette with taut lines, sharply angled lugs, and a tactile mix of brushed and polished finishes. Enhanced by a glass-box crystal and substantial chronograph pushers, the watch is both rugged and refined, ready for everyday wear or weekend adventure.
The new Ocean Grey lacquer dial injects dynamic character into the collection. Rich in detail and depth, it features a multi-layered construction and a subtle gradient effect that shifts from light to dark. Bright orange accents lend an athletic energy, drawing the eye to key chronograph functions while enhancing legibility. Finely grained sub-dials, trapezoid indexes, and skeletonised hands offer a harmonious layout that is both intuitive and visually balanced.
At the heart of the timepiece beats the in-house Calibre 761, a twin-barrel automatic movement offering a 65-hour power reserve. Designed and hand-finished at Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Vallée de Joux Manufacture, the movement reveals its refined mechanics through the transparent caseback. Signature touches, such as blued screws, Geneva stripes, and an open-worked rotor with the JL motif, highlight the Maison’s commitment to horological excellence.
True to its sporty roots, the Polaris Chronograph Ocean Grey comes with two interchangeable straps—a textured black rubber strap and a canvas strap in blue-grey. This quick-change system allows the wearer to switch from a casual look to a more refined one in seconds, enhancing the watch’s adaptability and appeal.
With this release, Jaeger-LeCoultre reaffirms its position as a pioneer in luxury sports watchmaking. The Polaris Chronograph Ocean Grey seamlessly fuses technical innovation with timeless design, offering a compelling choice for modern adventurers who appreciate craftsmanship, versatility, and understated style.
With water resistance up to 10 bar and a robust yet refined construction, the Polaris Chronograph Ocean Grey is as suited to urban exploration as it is to outdoor pursuits. Its precision timekeeping, tactile functionality, and legible layout make it a reliable companion whether you’re timing laps on the track or navigating the pace of city life.
This latest addition to the Polaris family encapsulates Jaeger-LeCoultre’s enduring philosophy: to craft watches that embody technical mastery and aesthetic purity. By pairing a contemporary design language with mechanical ingenuity, the Polaris Chronograph Ocean Grey continues the legacy of La Grande Maison—bringing the watchmaker’s storied expertise into the modern age with elegance and purpose.
