The Polaris Chronograph brings a surprising amount of elegant charm in a fairly sporty form, offering a sweet flavour of luxury and Jaeger-LeCoultre savoir faire. Introduced in 2018, the watch is versatile at 42mm and wears quite comfortably. This reference Q9022450 is a pink gold model featuring a pleasing case profile with gentle curves and a mixed finish. The bezel, slim and polished, mirrors the subtlety of the dial. Overall, the general sensibility of the watch rides between sporty and dressy, further confirmed by the leather strap.

The dial is charcoal grey in aesthetical contrast to the case and is well-orchestrated with impressive textures and depth. The hands and markers promote functionality through high luminescence, while the bi-compax sub-dials and tachymeter scale on the outer rim underscore practical timekeeping. Every aspect of the dial conforms to legibility and readability. Powering this Polaris Chronograph is calibre 751, which provides 65 hours of power reserve with two barrels and a 4Hz beat rate.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
