Our remarks

JAEGER-LeCOULTRE Vintage Polaris – Ref. E859 – Stainless Steel – Alarm Diver – Automatic – Circa 1968 – JLC Service 2025 – Excellent Condition

We are honored to offer this extraordinary and historically important Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Ref. E859, one of the most iconic and collectible dive watches ever produced. Made in stainless steel and dating from circa 1968, this legendary model combines technical innovation, bold design, and exceptional rarity—representing the golden age of mechanical diving instruments.

The 42mm stainless steel case retains its distinctive triple-crown configuration, controlling the alarm, internal rotating bezel, and winding functions. The black matte tritium dial, with its luminous hour markers but new service handset. 

The inner rotating bezel and alarm indicator add both character and function, staying true to the Polaris’s professional heritage.

At its core lies the Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 825, an automatic movement with alarm function—one of the first of its kind designed for underwater use. Revered for its ingenuity and precision, the movement has just undergone a complete factory service by Jaeger-LeCoultre in 2025, ensuring optimal performance and authenticity.

This exceptional example remains in excellent condition, with well-preserved case geometry, crisp engravings, and a clean, original dial. It is accompanied by official JLC service documentation, confirming its provenance and maintenance history.

This set includes:
