It's hard to downplay the significance of the 2018-released Polaris Date. Despite being notably simple sans the chronograph or alarm function, it advanced a personality that resonated with patrons immediately. This Polaris Date delivers straightforwardness and a signature vintage touch and unites them with a powerful in-house movement. The calibre 899 at the heart of this reference is automatic, featuring 218 components and 32 jewels and promises a 70-hour power reserve.

Dressed up in a stainless steel case and a rubber strap, this watch particularly shines with its well-designed dial. A textural appeal is apparent on the dial as it displays luminous hour markers on a grained chapter ring, while the centre is a smooth disc that appears a bit elevated. And even though the date function on a dive watch is not a popular opinion, here it enhances the whole look with much sophistication and practicality.

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.
