Jaeger-LeCoultre brings the Polaris Date down to 40mm

The 2026 Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Date introduces a 40mm steel case to the collection. Reference Q9128981 pairs the smaller format with a gradient blue dial, combining opaline, grained and sunray surfaces. A date aperture at three o’clock balances the large luminous markers.

Two crowns preserve the Polaris silhouette: one sets the time, while the other operates the internal rotating bezel. The case is 12.9mm thick and rated to 200 metres of water resistance. Skeletonised hands leave more of the dial’s layered finish visible.

The automatic calibre 899 runs at 4Hz and provides a 70-hour power reserve. A sapphire caseback displays the movement, and a blue canvas strap continues the dial’s colour across the wrist.
