Vintage LeCoultre Polaris 65: A Love Story

( Disclaimer: This is a post I had in stock for one year, so here it is, on line, with an important delay...)

..................................................

You now know it, the Vintage Polaris 65 is one of the most, if not THE most significative catch of past year, for me.

Because of its friendly provenance, because of its importance ( in my collector's heart ), because of this beauty.

So, it was logical that the Polaris 65 was in my luggage, past summer.

This is one of the watches I wore the most this summer, being part of all the moves I did when I was in Italy, or Croatia.

The natural italian or croatian light gives much more justice to the watch than some indoor pictures.

The unavoidable roofshots putting the plexy and the dial in a new perspective, as well as th beveled lugs:





The fruity shot, mild and sweet at the same time. The fig is as sensual as the Polaris, in its generously curved shapes, don't you think?



The " Harbour Shot ", showing this toolwatch in its natural environment, and highlighting the superb gilt signature and indexes:



A summer holidays pictorial report wouldn't be complete without wrist shots.

The " Urban Jungle " moment:



The " on the top of the town " shot:



The Sea shot, a bit frustrating, though, as you only want to jump into this attractive water with the watch on oyur wrist, but you have the Tribute To Polaris, for that experience ( which was also tested with a leather Nato, this year, and which will also be reported ).



And not the ugliest shot, taken while in the mountain, on the only one rainy day during our holidays, just to prove that this Vintage is rain resistant.



This is only the beginning of my love story with this Vintage Polaris, and I strongly believe that this love will last forever.

Best,

Nicolas.
