History

Jaeger-LeCoultre was founded in 1833 in Le Sentier, in the Vallée de Joux, and is one of the few Swiss manufactures capable of producing its own movements, components, and complications in an almost fully integrated way.

The Polaris family recovers the brand's mid-20th-century dive and instrument-watch heritage, with a sporty language of legible dials and functional bezels. The Polaris Automatic, already in Cazador's catalog, represents that family's simplest three-hand version.

The Polaris Chronograph adds a chronograph complication on top of that base, with the in-house Caliber 761: a column-wheel mechanism with a vertical clutch — a more complex, better-responding architecture than a traditional cam clutch — delivering 65 hours of power reserve and a 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock on a three-level grey dial.

This is Jaeger-LeCoultre's fifth reference in Cazador's catalog, alongside the Reverso Duoface, the Polaris Automatic, the Master Control Date, and the Master Ultra Thin Date. Against the Polaris Automatic, the Polaris Chronograph represents the added-complication variant within the same sport family.

How does it differ from the Polaris Automatic, the brand's other sport reference in Cazador?

What is a column-wheel chronograph with a vertical clutch?

It's a chronograph architecture generally considered higher quality than a traditional cam clutch, offering more precise activation and less seconds-hand jump when the chronograph starts.

It offers 65 hours of power reserve, with 37 jewels and 262 components, running at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz).

Is it suitable for swimming?

Yes, its 100-meter water resistance allows swimming, though it's built more for sporty everyday use than professional diving.

Since when has Jaeger-LeCoultre existed?

Since 1833, founded in Le Sentier, Switzerland; it's one of the few manufactures able to produce its own movements and complications in a fully integrated way.
