Accessories: Complete Set. Includes Jaeger-LeCoultre presentation box, 2024 warranty card, all original documentation, original strap, and one additional strap.
Notes: The Q902843J is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph in the gray dial configuration — a manufacture chronograph of exceptional depth that channels the spirit of the original 1968 Memovox Polaris into a thoroughly contemporary 42mm sport package. The Polaris Chronograph houses the in-house Calibre 751, a column-wheel automatic chronograph movement of genuine manufacture pedigree, visible through the exhibition caseback and finished to the standard that has defined JLC's movement craft for over 180 years. The gray dial is the most restrained and versatile configuration in the Polaris Chronograph lineup — a cool, sophisticated tone that pairs with the reference's signature triple-layer case construction and rotating inner bezel to produce a watch of exceptional wearability across contexts. This 2024 example includes an additional strap, adding versatility to an already well-specified package.

Case & Bezel: The 42mm stainless steel case retains strong factory lines with well-defined lug profiles. The distinctive triple-layer case construction is sharp and unmarked. The unidirectional rotating bezel is in perfect condition — no chips or contact marks. Clicks firmly and precisely through its full rotation.

Why the Polaris Chronograph is JLC's Most Wearable Manufacture Complication
Jaeger-LeCoultre is one of the few manufactures in Switzerland capable of producing a column-wheel chronograph movement entirely in-house — from escapement to case — and the Polaris Chronograph is the most sport-oriented expression of that capability in the current JLC catalog. The reference draws directly on the Polaris heritage established in 1968, when JLC produced one of the first dive watches with an inner rotating bezel — a design solution so elegant that it remains the Polaris's defining visual characteristic five decades later.
In the current 2026 market, manufacture chronographs from houses of JLC's depth remain profoundly undervalued relative to their Swiss counterparts at similar and higher price points. The Polaris Chronograph delivers a column-wheel in-house chronograph, triple-layer case construction, and 100 meters of water resistance in a package that competes directly with anything in its category. The gray dial configuration is the most versatile in the lineup — a color that transitions effortlessly between sport and dress contexts and that rewards the owner who appreciates restraint over spectacle. A 2024 complete set example in excellent condition with an additional strap represents a compelling entry point into serious manufacture chronograph collecting.
