I really like the smoke blue dial...

It’s just the date window with the white background 🤬

Wow that blue dial is a killer !

Agree though that a Polaris should be a Memovox ideally It looks too close to a Polaris Memovox to be without an alarm function Thanks for your pics Nico ! Cheers Robin
I think the blue dial is gorgeous...

and would have preferred to see the date with a black or deep blue disc with vanilla font (for better blending). Now, I just wish JLC would do the Polaris Geographic with a dial like this and world-wide distribution, not boutique-only. -Dean
A Polaris hommage watch without alarm does not work for me.
By: jlux : September 2nd, 2019-09:52
This is like Panerai with 3 ATM or IWC Ingenieur without iron core cage (we have seen this). I do not really get the marketing idea behind these decisions : watches like this are not purchased by the average customer but mostly by collectors that are know...
No question that this watch looks great and that the dial is a killer
By: Sebi : September 2nd, 2019-12:48
However, there is just little sense in that model to begin with. The whole idea to get a product line based on the name & essence of an historical model is just a failure. And it was already showing with the geophysic product line. There was the tribute. ...
Back when they introduced the TTP68..
By: Echi : September 2nd, 2019-16:05
I wonder what they would have thought about having a TTP68 without alarm.. I wonder if it ever crossed their mind. Probably not, no? No problem with the aesthetics per se but may lead people into thinking that since it's too close and less expensive than ...
It’s a nice watch....

Not as nice as nice as a reverse tribute small seconds red dial....but still nice
Polaris Date
By: Drjaytripod : September 5th, 2019-15:24
There sure is a lot of angst over this offering. I understand that it comes from respect for the brand. Yes, the date wheel is white, and the PR is diminutive. I think it’s beautiful and look forward to seeing one. As I own a Reverso and a Navy SEALS Alar...
jLC date

Thank you! I’ve been away a couple years but I’ll try to contribute a bit.
Take the date away and put the alarm back
By: Xakep : January 24th, 2020-22:45
Close the back (good!), take the date away, put the alarm and you have a solid genuine merge of form and function. Don't fuss with the dial color. I love the Polaris Memovox, seen it in store (right size form my 7.5" wrist), it's the date that's distracti...
The fact that data was there on the original one is no excuse
By: Xakep : February 21st, 2020-22:31
The - mostly obsolete - function is less important than the identity. If they will compete in the uber-crowded (because of) uber-lucrative sports watch market they need an instantly recognizable design to hammer for the years to failed with the Compresso...
Nice meeting you too
By: Xakep : February 22nd, 2020-08:39
They never truly established the Compressor line, someone up there have to decide if they truly want to position JLC in that market - or keep the Polaris line as one-off, without expanding it. JLC, especially their calibers, always straddled that ridge b/...
"...Among other things"
By: Xakep : February 23rd, 2020-06:20
My point is that JLC has dis-proportionally low brand recognition for the technical supremacy they posses. They were - for a long time - probably the ultimate "wis" brand: we love it but that won't pay the bills. With a RO/Submariner/Triple-bridge/Freak/L...
The blue dial
By: Quan : February 28th, 2020-21:40
is damn nice, last Sunday late by 10 minutes someone grab it, so I only manage to hand hold to admire it
I tried the date model
By: Xakep : March 18th, 2020-16:14
... and the watch is kind of unusual - it sits flat but big. It's not a tool watch for sure, and there's no "sporty" feeling about it. Not sure if I can compare it to something familiar as a style .. Portofino maybe. I was not disappointed but surprised -...
