The new Polaris chronograph watch is made of stainless steel, with a diameter of 42 mm and a thickness of 13.39 mm. The case is polished on the front and brushed on the sides. The front and sides of the lugs are also brushed, with polished edges. The entire watch head is very delicately processed and has a waterproof depth of 100 meters. This also established its identity as a luxury sports watch. The design of the large-sized crown inherits the characteristics of the Memovox polar alarm watch, making it easy to hold and operate. The two chronograph buttons on the upper and lower crown are designed in a square shape with slightly curved edges, echoing the curved edges of the case. I think the biggest reason is the change in dial. First of all, the dial color is nice and durable. The new Beichen chronograph watch is launched in two color styles, one is the familiar dark blue, and the other is a new warm gray, one blue and one gray, which respectively highlight the elegant personality and sports DNA of the Polaris series.
Secondly, it is rich in color + strong three-dimensional effect. The new watch uses a lacquered dial, which makes the blue or gray fuller and richer. From the central disc of the dial to the ring with the hour markers, the paint surface shows a gradient effect from light to dark. Visually, the dial appears more three-dimensional. Although it may seem simple in a few words, the painting process alone is very complicated. The craftsman needs to first apply a layer of clear paint on the surface of the plate, and then apply a layer of colored paint. This process requires the craftsman to control the color. Concentration and gradient levels, there can be no mistakes in each layer. After that, up to 35 layers of translucent paint would have to be applied repeatedly to achieve the depth and layering we can now see with the naked eye.
Additionally, a contrasting effect appears on the dial, creating even more visual impact. The detailed color matching on the previous generation Beichen chronograph dial was basically the same color. The new Polaris chronograph watch has many contrasting effects. For example, the new speedometer ring is black, which contrasts with the central disc and time scale ring. The small dials of the warm gray model are also black, contrasting with the main dial. The orange elements on the dials of the two watches not only highlight the important displays, but also produce a striking contrast effect. The bright orange also adds a touch of vitality to the dials.
In addition to the color, the polishing and finishing of different parts on the dial also contrast. The central disk is decorated with sunray patterns, and the rings are grainy. The small dial has a more delicate frosted texture. Compared with the previous generation, the hands of the new Beichen chronograph have a hollow effect, which increases the layering of the dial and makes the entire dial look lighter. The hands and hour markers are covered with a fluorescent coating to ensure that the watch can clearly display the time under any brightness conditions. We took the watch to a darker environment, and the luminous effect was satisfactory and the durability was good.
In addition to the above, the most obvious change between the new model and its predecessor is that the small dial at 9 o'clock has been changed to a small seconds dial (the 9 o'clock position of the previous generation was a 12-hour chronograph dial without a small second display). , which perfectly solves the problem that some watch friends struggled with when the previous generation watch did not have a second hand and "adjusted the time by feel". The 3 o'clock position of the watch is a 30-minute counter, and the layout of the disk is balanced left and right.
The new Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris chronograph uses the Jaeger-LeCoultre 761 automatic movement. Based on the previous generation 751 automatic movement, the 761 automatic chronograph movement removes the 12-hour module and adds a small seconds module. At the same time, it retains the card-free weights, the column wheel with vertical clutch device, the swing frequency of 28,800 times per hour, and is powered by dual springs, with a power reserve of 65 hours.
