In response to the cries of watch enthusiasts who adore the stylish allure of the Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Polaris sports watch but find the 42mm case a touch too robust, the renowned Swiss watchmaker has introduced a sleek 40mm version to the collection. The Polaris Date 40 mm dive watch (Ref. Q9128981) is a smaller, refined alternative featuring a lacquered blue gradient dial, again drawing inspirations from the abyss.
However, besides the reduction in size, the brand has also undertaken some aesthetic rearrangements. The logo, previously placed under the ‘12’ Arabic numeral hour marker, has now been conveniently centralized. Further, the word ‘Automatique’ has been replaced by the ‘Swiss Made’ sign-off on the dial, aligning more with the brand’s premium roots.

Panerai has revealed two notable additions to its Submersible Navy SEALs Collection - the PAM01738 and flagship Afniotech™ Experience Edition PAM01089. Both of these elite models exemplify Panerai’s prowess in crafting military-inspired dive watches.

This galaxy of practical military requirements continues to shape Panerai’s contemporary collections, making its alliance with the U.S. Navy SEALs seem like an organic extension of its lineage.
