Video footage available upon request. Open to offers. Bracelet sizing service available.

The Polaris Mariner Date is JLC doing something most people don't expect from the brand — a legitimate, ISO 6425-certified dive watch rated to 300 meters. The original 1968 Memovox Polaris was already a cult classic among collectors, and the Mariner Date takes that heritage and builds it into a modern tool watch that can actually go in the water. The blue gradient dial is the standout feature — it shifts between sunburst, grained, and opaline finishes across its surface, creating a depth effect that changes constantly under different lighting. The internal rotating bezel is operated via the screw-down crown at 2 o'clock, keeping the case profile clean without sacrificing the timing function a dive watch needs. Inside, the in-house Caliber 899AB delivers a 70-hour power reserve from a single barrel — nearly three full days off the wrist — with 32 jewels and the kind of finishing visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback that reminds you this is still a JLC, not just a diver. At 42mm and 13.92mm thick, it wears like a proper sports watch without overwhelming the wrist, and the stainless steel bracelet with deployant buckle rounds out a piece that moves seamlessly from the water to the office to dinner without needing a strap change.
