Jaeger-LeCoultre is perhaps best known for its stylish dress watches, such as the classic Reverso or the Master Control. But the storied Swiss manufacture also makes a cracking diver's watch: the handsome Polaris, which is one of the most underrated diver's watches on the market.

Jaeger-LeCoultre has decided to celebrate its long history of underwater excellence in 2020, releasing the Polaris Mariner Memovox: an innovative and stylish new model that takes the brand's iconic chiming watches into the wet.
The robust capabilities and distinctive aesthetic of the new Polaris Mariner Memovox (ref. 9038180) pay direct homage to Jaeger-LeCoultre’s first diving watches. Water-resistant to 300 metres, the 42mm stainless steel watch features the self-winding Calibre 956 – a direct descendant of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s first automatic alarm watch calibres.
With a new peripheral gong designed to allow for a transparent sapphire case-back, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Mariner Memovox retains the signature 'school bell' sound that lends such charm to Jaeger-LeCoultre’s alarm watches – the chiming still audible even deep underwater. The deep blue dial of the watch is especially tasteful, and befitting of the brand's stylish character.
To mark the launch of its new Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Mariner Memovox diving watch, the brand has released a short film made in collaboration with acclaimed British actor Benedict Cumberbatch titled In A Breath. In it, Cumberbatch draws the parallel between his longstanding practice of meditation and diving – and the impact that both have on our sense of time. Filmed in Rakino Island, New-Zealand during the height of COVID-19 restrictions, the film perfectly demonstrates the technical capabilities of the new timepiece, as well as Cumberbatch's love of diving and his meditative habits.
The new Polaris Mariner Memovox is available now – dive in and check it out.
