Nothing else, my friend. That was the same thing in the early 70's when the Polaris 1968 was in " retirement " and that the Polaris II Blue, Red and Grey were just born. Nothing common, except...
The fact that both are alarms, and both are diving watches.
Maybe that's why JLC called the E 870 the Polaris II?

Jaeger Lecoultre Polaris II Blue Ref E 870: The ancestor of the smoke blue dial.
Last year, Jaeger Lecoultre unveiled the Polaris Geographique World Time and its stunning smoke blue dial. But 48 years before, Jaeger Lecoultre used a smoke blue dial for another Polaris, the Polaris II ref E 870. Another piece from the Heritage Gallery,...
The Polaris II ref E 870 is very good looking
do the new one and the vintage have anything similar? I can’t figure out why JLC choose this name.

Can You Tell me, which strap was on the geoprahic world time for that Photo?
Not the Standard one. The one from the Polaris Date? Or from the Polaris Tribute? Does IT fit perfectly? Seems to Look better than the original leather strap.
What a superb shot of the Polaris Geographique WT !.. To catch those nuances of the smoke blue dial, not that easy - again, a great pic ‼️
Was happy, to be able to also have it join my WT/Geophysic Unversal Time and my Master Geographic - BTW, also like this strap.. Best, hs PS: Good point to appreciate the Polaris II E 870 and its funky heritage charme.
