The Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Date Olive Green Boutique Edition Ref. Q906863J is one of the most striking and desirable modern interpretations of the Polaris collection. Released in 2022 as a Boutique Exclusive.
Its defining feature is the spectacular olive green gradient lacquered dial, which transitions from a luminous olive centre to a deep forest green outer edge. The dial is exceptionally complex to manufacture, featuring multiple finishesโincluding opaline, grained, and sunray texturesโbeneath numerous layers of lacquer that create remarkable depth and constantly changing tones depending on the light.ย The 42 mm stainless steel case retains the signature Polaris architecture with alternating brushed and polished surfaces and the collection’s characteristic dual-crown design. The upper crown operates the internal rotating timing bezel, while the lower crown is used for time and date adjustment.
Powering the watch is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture Calibre 899, an in-house automatic movement visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback. Offering a 70-hour power reserve, refined finishing, and proven reliability, . The watch is fitted with a green textured rubber strap incorporating the brand’s quick-change system, allowing effortless strap changes without tools.
Elegant yet sporty, exclusive yet highly wearable, the Polaris Date Olive Green Boutique Edition has rapidly become one of the standout references within the modern Polaris collection and is increasingly sought after on the secondary market.
