Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. In this watch review, we will introduce the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Series 904847J wristwatch launched by ZF Factory. Jaeger-LeCoultre released the new Polaris series at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) in 2018. Keeping pace with the authentic model, ZF Factory has recently launched a replica version of this watch. Below, let’s briefly discuss the craftsmanship of the ZF Factory Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris World Time 904847J wristwatch.
Let’s first take a look at the parameter diagram of the authentic model: Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Series 904847J wristwatch, priced at 107,000.
Here are the actual photos of ZF Factory’s Jaeger – LeCoultre Polaris Series model 904847J. The watch measures 42mm in diameter and 11.5mm in thickness, basically matching the authentic version.
The ZF Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Geographic World Time wristwatch draws design inspiration from the Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox Polar Alarm watch introduced in 1968. The entire watch embodies a spirit of boldness and adventure. The black leather strap exudes elegance, while the design lines retain a sporty style, making it suitable for professionals on business trips or world travelers.
The dial is dominated by two colors from Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Polaris series, with a gradient tone from blue to black being a major hallmark of this series. The dial structure is unique, firstly adopting a three-color matching scheme to enhance the layering of the dial. ZF Factory has performed quite well in terms of color control.
The watch mirror of ZF uses sapphire crystal glass, which has excellent transparency. Reflections on the mirror can only be seen at an inclined angle; otherwise, it gives the illusion that the mirror has disappeared.
At 2 o’clock there is a date disc, at 6 o’clock a second time zone, at 10 o’clock a power reserve disc, and on the outer ring is the name of a city representing the 24 time zones of the world marked in cream white.
The 24-hour scale is divided into black and white, white for day and black for night, to help the wearer easily distinguish whether it is day or night in the city.
The hands and indexes are coated with luminescent to make it easy to see the time in the dark.
The ZF Factory Polaris Series Geographic World Time wristwatch features a 316L stainless steel case. On the right side, there are normal functions for adjusting time, winding the movement, and setting the time. Similar to the authentic model, the lugs are designed shorter, with fine brushing on the sides, and the “JL” logo on the crown has a clear three-dimensional effect.
On the ZF Factory Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris World Time wristwatch, the crown located at the 10 o’clock position on the left side of the case is used to adjust the time for 24 global time zones. According to the different standards of winter and summer time, when selecting a city, a white asterisk indicates the one-hour difference between them.
The ZF Factory Polaris uses a modified Citizen MIYOTA 9110 movement to replicate the Jaeger-LeCoultre CAL.936A/1 movement. It synchronizes original functions such as hour-minute-second display, date, day-night indication, world time display, and power reserve display.
The ZF Factory Polaris uses a folding clasp, with craftsmanship identical to the authentic model. It is also more convenient to wear, unlike the pin buckle style which is more troublesome to put on and take off.
The strap is a calfskin pressed crocodile pattern material strap, and those who pursue the ultimate wearing experience can find Bokey to customize the crocodile strap to improve wearing comfort.
Summary: If you prefer wristwatches with complex functions and want to keep track of world time at your fingertips while freely knowing the sunrise and day-night cycles in every part of the world, the ZF Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Series Geographic World Time wristwatch offers high cost-effectiveness and full-function restoration to best satisfy your preferences.
