About the Jaeger-LeCoultre Q906868J
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Date Q906868J debuted in 2023 as a variant of the stainless steel Polaris Date, differentiated by a blue rubber strap in a “Clous de Paris” pattern to match the gradient blue lacquer dial. The watch retains the sport-luxury design language and layout first seen on models like the Q9068650.
The 42 mm case features taut lines and a mix of brushed and polished surfaces, with a thickness of 13.92 mm and water resistance up to 200 meters. The multi-textured dial—sunray-brushed at the center, grained at the hour track, and opaline on the inner bezel—displays luminous numerals, bold indexes, and skeletonised hands. A rotating internal bezel, operated via the crown at 2 o’clock, adds practical functionality, while a date window is positioned at 3.
Power comes from the automatic 899A/1, offering a 70-hour power reserve and visible through a sapphire case back. The strap is fitted with a quick-change system and stainless steel folding buckle.
