  • Page 5: Water Resistance

    If you observe a discrepancy in the way your watch runs, we advise you to entrust it to an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer who will make the necessary adjustments. Watches with mechanical movements must not be used for sports involving significant risk of impact or abrupt actions, such as golf or tennis.
  • Page 6 - have the watch’s water resistance checked by an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer at least once every two years. It is essential to have such a check carried out each time your watch is opened, and before any period in which it is liable to undergo prolonged and/ or regular immersions.

    Also, note that leather straps are not suited for aquatic activities. “1,000 Hours Control” test Jaeger-LeCoultre submits all its watches to the stringent “1,000 Hours Control”, a series of comprehensive and rigorous internal tests lasting a full 1,000 hours.

  • Page 9: Functions

    Functions Thanks to a mechanically powered disc indi- cating the 24 time zones of the international GMT system, your Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Geographic WT watch features a display of multiple parts that indicate: - The time (in hours, minutes and seconds) and date where you live, i.e.
  • Page 10 - Set the local time and the reference time depending on the position the crown is in (with the time in the 24 time zones and in the small dial of the favoured time zone automatically changing as a result). - Synchronise the local time with the time of all the time zones.
  • Page 11 STARTING AND WINDING Crown A in position 0. A few clockwise turns of the crown are enough to start your watch. It will then automatically wind up when you wear it. Please note that the crown does not lock when winding, even when the watch is fully wound.
  • Page 12 SETTING THE HOUR, MINUTES, AND SECONDS (LOCAL TIME) Pull Crown A out to position 2. The movement is then locked (“stop seconds” function). For an exact setting, position the seconds hand at 12 o’clock. Move the hands clockwise to the desired time, by passing 12 o’clock.
  • Page 13 WORLD TIME AND FAVOURED TIME ZONE FUNCTIONS Your Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Geographic WT watch also features an ingenious system of world time display that can tell the time simultaneously in 24 cities in the world. The simultaneous reading of the time in the...
  • Page 14 For example: Select Athens as the city for the favoured time zone. Turn the city disc and position Athens opposite the triangle located at 6 o’clock. You can thus see the time in Athens: - On the 24-hour disc: 5 pm. - On the small dial.
  • Page 15 Pre-setting: synchronising the reference time with the mechanism of the multiple time zones Reading the universal time and the favoured time zone requires pre-setting that consists of determining a reference time for the mechanism. This step needs to be carried out only once, as long as the reference time zone remains unchanged.
  • Page 16 operation (setting the reference time on the small dial): Pull Crown A (at 3 o’clock) out to position 1. Turn the crown in either direction to move the hour hand of the favoured time zone, together with the 24-hour ring. Adjust the hour in the small dial in order to obtain the same time as the main time and to display this hour opposite the triangular marker...
  • Page 17 - You can thus read the time in any of the cities indicated on the city disc by reading the hour opposite the relevant city on the 24-hour ring, with the minutes indicated on the main dial. Note: Regions where the official time differs by a fraction of an hour (India, Iran, Nepal) are not included in the city disc.
  • Page 18 Special cases: summer and winter times In certain countries, local time moves forward by an hour during the summer months. Your Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Geographic WT watch, which is mechanically programmed, does not take these local specificities into account. In order to factor these in, the city disc of your Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Geographic WT displays a “  ...
  • Page 19 If you live in a country which adopts summer time, the following setting will be necessary. When you change from winter to summer time, please proceed as follows: - While turning Crown B (at 10 o’clock), position the “      ” symbol found to the left of the city that corresponds to the time zone in which you find yourself (reference city) opposite the triangular marker at 6 o’clock.
  • Page 20 - You can thus read the time in any of the 24 time zones by looking at the hour on the 24-hour ring opposite the “      ” symbol for the relevant city, if summer time is applicable there. When changing from summer time to winter time: - While turning Crown B (at 10 o’clock), position the city that corresponds to the time zone...

  • Page 22 Geographic WT watch, are Rio de Janeiro, Auckland, and Sydney, where summer time is applied between the months of October and February/March (according to annual decrees). Therefore, to read the time in each of the 24 time zones correctly (except for during periods just before and after the date of the changeover), you must take account of the geographical position of the country in question, so as to...
  • Page 23 Southern Position the desired city hemisphere at 6 o’clock: - in the “     ” summer time (winter time) position, if it is displayed, - in the “name” position, if it is not displayed. Between October and March: To find out the time in the hemisphere opposite hemisphere: you live in...
