First impressions of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Date blue dial. Explore its lacquered dial, robust movement, and comfortable strap. Is it swim-ready?

Jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) shares his excitement over acquiring the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Date in blue, a watch he describes as captivating. His post details the immediate impressions of the watch, from its stunning lacquered dial to its robust movement and comfortable strap. This article explores the allure of the Polaris Date and the personal connection collectors form with their new acquisitions.

I was so poisoned by the pics shared here that I couldn’t help but got this at the JLC MBS Singapore boutique (a place Nico will remember as I didn’t pay attention to his speech during the Tribute to Geophysic launch in Singapore few years back and instead got a Reverso Tribute to 1948 during his speech) :p

Some fresh shots to share

The selling point is the beautiful blue lacquered dial. The case and lugs are also nicely finished . Movement is normal but I feel the winding an the date change feel like a robust movement despite the low PR. The strap is also nicely made and super comfy. I don’t think swimming with this is a problem as despite having no screw down crowns, the crowns are very tight and need quite some strength to pull out.

Enjoy the pics

Cheers

Robin
