The first Memovox was released in 1950, with a round 34 or 35 mm Case, and tubular lugs.
It wasn't , at its beginning, a sport Diving watch, but a dressy and elegant watch.
A ref E 855 with a black dial came in the Sixties, and in 1963 came the Polaris, which is also a Memovox.
So you got it, Memovox is the Family name of these alarm watches, which weren't always round, in the 70 ies.
Will JLC release a Polaris in current production?
I don't think so.
But will JLC fill the gap of the discontinued Master Compressor?
It is possible, yes, but only JLC knows what watch they will release, but I think it is possible, as Alarm Watches are a big part of JLC History, and should I say...D.N.A?
Stay tuned, I will post next week a review on something you will like...

memovox questions
what was the early look of the memovox? was it originally a sport/diving watch with black dial or just a name for any alarm watch jlc produced?
the polaris is probably the first sport watch i really liked. the discontinued master compressor memovox looks better to me now that i've seen where it was inspired from. will jlc release a polaris similar to the limited edition to fill the gap of the discontinued master compressor?
i've read that steve mcqueen wore a memovox in the first thomas crown. was it similar to the polaris or a more dressy memovox variation?
great thanks!
