Jaeger-LeCoultre · Family: Polaris
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Automatic Q9068670 is the 42mm steel automatic that revives the 1968 Memovox Polaris, a mechanical-alarm watch built for explorers and divers. As of July 22, 2026, Cazador has fewer than 5 verified price observations (n<5), so no market range is published yet. Its standout feature is the internal rotating bezel, operated entirely through the crown at 2 o'clock instead of a conventional external bezel.

The Polaris family was born in 1968 within Jaeger-LeCoultre's Memovox universe, the mechanical-alarm line the Vallée de Joux manufacture had been building since the 1950s. The original Memovox Polaris was designed for explorers and divers: a triple-crown case that isolated winding, time-setting, and alarm-arming from water contact, and a rotating bezel placed inside the case so a diver could time an immersion without exposing an external bezel to knocks or wetsuit wear.
In 2018 [UNVERIFIED] Jaeger-LeCoultre revived that design language with the relaunch of the Polaris collection, which is where the Polaris Automatic Q9068670 sits. The reference carries the 1968 watch's most distinctive trait into the present: the internal rotating bezel, which in the modern version is operated entirely through the crown at 2 o'clock, with no need to touch the crystal or the case directly.
Unlike the 1968 Memovox Polaris, this Automatic execution does not include the mechanical alarm function that gave the entire Memovox family its name; that complication was reserved for other references within the relaunched Polaris collection, such as the Polaris Memovox. The Q9068670 focuses on the aesthetics and the internal-bezel architecture as a direct bridge to the 1960s exploration watch.
The Automatic revives the aesthetics and internal rotating bezel of the 1968 Memovox Polaris, but drops the mechanical alarm function that gave the Memovox family its name. That complication is reserved for other references within the relaunched Polaris collection, such as the Polaris Memovox.
Instead of an external rotating bezel like a conventional dive watch, the Polaris Automatic has a rotating bezel located inside the case, operated via the crown at 2 o'clock, without touching the crystal directly.
Cazador currently lacks enough verified price observations (n<5) to publish a reliable range. This section will activate once sufficient data exists.
Catalog sources place this reference's water resistance around 100 meters [UNVERIFIED], a figure suited to sport and occasional water use rather than professional diving.
It runs an in-house automatic calibre built by Jaeger-LeCoultre [UNVERIFIED exact calibre reference]. JLC manufactures both the movement and much of its componentry internally.
The 1968 original design aimed to protect the timing mechanism from knocks and wear during a dive by isolating it inside the triple-crown case. The modern Automatic keeps that solution as the Polaris family's identity marker.
The case measures 42mm in diameter, made of steel, with a blue sunray dial that reinforces the visual link to the marine palette associated with the Polaris family's underwater-exploration heritage.
